About Data Driven VC

It's never been easier to leverage data & AI for investing – and that's a great thing!

But the landscape is becoming noisy. Investment firms are window dressing as they face growing struggles to find the right tools, data, and people to transform their operations. Seeking to fix the gap with external solutions, “Investment Tech” has seen great momentum with tens of new tools evolving every quarter.

As result, most investment firms struggle to solve the make vs buy question, find the right data and tools, attract and retain the technical talent for implementation, and generate the right insights from the data to become more efficient, effective, and inclusive. You’re not alone.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help you cut through the noise. So, every week, we dive into different parts of the investor stack and share valuable insights from the data.

Our Beliefs

We’re strong believers in open-source which is why we share our learnings as transparent as possible with the community. To progress on our journey together, learn from each other, and make startup investing more successful.

Our Approach

Startup investing is more art than science, they said.

But technology is here to change this.

Data-driven innovation and AI allow investors to collect data at scale, processes it consistently and without bias, and enable humans to make better decisions while spending more time with what actually matters: Finding and supporting the most visionary entrepreneurs.

Driven by this ambition, I conducted my PhD on “Machine Learning and the Value of Data in Venture Capital” and joined Earlybird Venture Capital as an investor in 2018. Since then, I learned the craft of investing and productized my research. The result is “EagleEye”, a data-driven platform that supports our investment team across sourcing, screening, due diligence, portfolio value creation, exits, and a range of back-office related tasks.
