What’s In For You?
This survey is for everyone: The firms that are just starting their journey as much as the firms that have been driving the innovation for many years.
Put yourself, your firm, or other innovative leaders in the spotlight. Who is spearheading the data-driven innovation in VC?
Benchmark your status quo anonymously against your peers, and identify white spots and potential for improvement. What are the best tools for [fill in task]? How are investors leveraging LLMs and GenAI?
Compare yourself to other firms in terms of internal vs external tech budgets, investment vs engineering headcount relative to fund size, percentage of traditional vs data-driven sourcing, motivations and roadblocks, and a lot more. Where is your firm compared to others?
Of course, nobody is willing to unveil the hidden secrets - that’s not the intention at all - but there’s a lot to win by creating collective transparency and comparing notes for the simple but painful stuff.
This report is a movement towards transparency and aims to cut through noise. See where you stand, uncover industry leaders, and let's collectively unveil the true state of digitization in venture capital. Are you in?
What To Expect?
Participants will get a chance to win one of five tickets for the Virtual Data-Driven VC Summit 10-12th March 2025 and are the first to receive the full report in early May.
Similar to the 2023 and 2024 editions, it will include the major drivers and incentives for becoming more data-driven, numbers and stats on where the industry moved since last year, an extensive part about tools and tech stacks, concrete examples and use cases for data-driven methods and AI across sourcing, screening, due diligence, portfolio value creation, LP interaction, and a lot more.
Stay driven,
Andre
