👋 Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my newsletter Data-Driven VC which is all about becoming a better investor with Data & AI. Join 32,970 thought leaders from VCs like a16z, Accel, Index, Sequoia, and more to understand how startup investing becomes more data-driven, why it matters, and what it means for you.
Hi there!
Throughout the past 2.5 years, Data Driven VC has evolved from a weekly newsletter about “how to become a better investor with data & AI” into a comprehensive platform where you can find everything to run a modern investment firm.
The newsletter with its three formats Essays (how to become more data-driven), Insights (research & reports), and Picks (trending startups) attracts more than thousand new subscribers per month and has just crossed 350k monthly reads, putting us on track to surpass 5M annual views in 2025.
For many of you, the newsletter serves as the first touchpoint before you somehow explore our other resources and get deeper involved in the DDVC community. It serves as the classic top of funnel.
Yet, we’ve learned from our regular reader surveys that the majority of new subscribers (and oftentimes even longterm existing readers) remain unaware for too long about what’s available beyond the top of funnel newsletter. I’m talking about our resource library that includes:
Virtual & Physical Events (+ recordings)
VC Tool Finder & Discounts
Database Benchmarking
AI Copilots & GPTs
Automation Templates
Document Templates
Fundraising Materials
Browser Plugins
Contact Lists
…
The list of resources keeps growing and you can individually pick what you need via our website or get unlimited access to all of them via The Lab.
While your feedback on the various resources is exceptional, we learned that we need to make the resource discovery and the transition from the newsletter to the DDVC ecosystem more natural and fluid. To reduce the time to value, we’re excited to launch a range of new initiatives over the course of the next weeks & months.
