A new Data-Driven VC report, released this week by Dr. Andre Retterath, is packed with insights from 190+ data-driven VC firms and serves as a great indicator of the VC industry's trajectory. 🧭 🚀 Based on the report, boosting work efficiency and spotting high-return opportunities are the main drivers in adopting a data-driven approach among VCs. 🏄 The YoY increase in reported data-driven VCs is just 26%. There is still time to catch the wave! ⚙️ Currently, VCs gain the most value from LLMs in their Screening, Due Diligence, and Sourcing processes. 🌎 Most data-driven VCs are based in the US and Western Europe. I am proud to say Vestberry (tag) is trusted by 4 of the largest DDVCs in Europe.And the report contains much more; definitely worth a read! Huge kudos to Dr. Andre Retterath for compiling the report and shoutout to Affinity.co, VESTBERRY, Deckmatch, Harmonic, and People Data Labs for their support on the project. #venturecapital #ddvc #datadrivenvc #portfoliomanagement
