Description by Vendor

Welcome to “Data-driven VC” by Andre Retterath, Partner at Earlybird Venture Capital. If you are a VC or PE investor, limited partner, founder, researcher, corporate M&A or innovation manager, or generally someone deeply interested in data-driven innovation & AI, this newsletter is for you.Venture capital, like many other industries, undergoes a massive transformation driven by data & AI. Although several VC investors claim to be data-driven already, the actual progress across the VC industry is still in its infancy and the sheer potential is yet to be explored. This weekly newsletter covers hands-on insights into data-driven innovation in VC and connects the dots between the latest research, reviews of novel tools and databases, deep dives into various VC tech stacks, interviews with experts and, ultimately, the implications for all stakeholders.

My name is Andre and I’m a Partner at Earlybird Venture Capital based in Munich. For context, Earlybird was founded in 1997 and is a European early-stage VC firm that invests in all development and growth phases of technology companies. With EUR 2 billion under management, eight IPOs and 30 trade sales, Earlybird is one of the most established and active venture capital firms in Europe. Within our team, I focus on enterprise software with a particular interest in developer, data and productivity tools, alongside AI-centric products and robotics.

More important for this newsletter though, I have a background in CS and conducted my PhD on the topic of “Machine Learning and the Value of Data in Venture Capital”. Hereof, I started to grow my network of data-driven VCs and researchers, and have been leading Earlybird’s engineering team and the development of our proprietary data-driven platform “Eagle Eye”.

Data Driven VC, curated by Andre Retterath, a partner at Earlybird Venture Capital, is a resource aimed at providing investment professionals with insights into how data-driven innovation is shaping the venture capital industry. The platform offers a weekly newsletter that delves into the intersection of venture capital and data, covering everything from the latest research and reviews of novel tools and databases to deep dives into VC tech stacks and interviews with industry experts.The content is designed to guide VCs and PE investors, limited partners, founders, corporate M&A and innovation managers, and researchers interested in data-driven strategies and artificial intelligence. The insights provided aim to help these professionals navigate the massive transformation occurring in the industry due to data and AI integration.As highlighted in the Data-driven VC Landscape 2023 report, there's a strong case for venture capital firms to adopt data-driven approaches. These methods can significantly enhance efficiency by freeing up time for investors to focus on the most promising opportunities and improve effectiveness by leveraging machine learning models that have been shown to outperform human investors in deal screening. Additionally, data-driven initiatives can help reduce biases in capital allocation, leading to more inclusive and potentially more profitable investment decisions.Moreover, the report suggests that only a small fraction of VC firms have dedicated teams and initiatives for data-driven strategies, indicating a gap in the market and an opportunity for firms to gain a competitive edge.For more insights and to access the full range of resources, including hands-on guides for integrating tools like ChatGPT and LLMs, you can visit the website Data Driven VC.
