👋 Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my weekly newsletter, Data-driven VC. Every Thursday I cover hands-on insights into data-driven innovation in venture capital and connect the dots between the latest research, reviews of novel tools and datasets, deep dives into various VC tech stacks, interviews with experts, and the implications for all stakeholders. Follow along to understand how data-driven approaches change the game, why it matters, and what it means for you.

Get all of the data and insights you need to benchmark your firm’s performance against Europe’s investment leaders. Plus, take a deep dive with us to answer the question: Where did all the unicorns go?
Today is a special episode as I combine my occasional “Insights from the data” series with my deep passion for AI (check out my latest “AI Cheat Sheet” in case you missed it) and share the results of an analysis that I recently conducted with my team at Earlybird.
Extracts of our research got exclusively covered by leading German business newspaper Handelsblatt earlier this week and I’m happy to share the most important takeaways (including some nice graphics prepared by Handelsblatt - thank you!) here with you.
1. Silicon Valley is the epicenter of AI innovation
2. North America is home to by far the most AI startups
3. Estonia produces most AI startups per capita
