By 2025, more than 75% of venture capital (VC) and early-stage investor executive reviews will be informed using\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0(AI) and data analytics, according to Gartner, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuccessful investors are purported to have a good\u00a0\u201cgut feel\u201d\u00a0\u2014 the ability to make sound financial decisions from mostly qualitative information alongside the quantitative data provided by the technology company,\u201d said\u00a0Patrick Stakenas<\/a>, senior research director at Gartner. \u201cHowever, this \u201cimpossible to quantify inner voice\u201d grown from personal experience is decreasingly playing a role in investment decision making.\u00a0The traditional pitch experience will significantly shift by 2025 as VC and private equity (PE) investors turn to leveraging AI and data science insights for\u00a0due diligence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantitative Analysis\u00a0Will Shift Investing Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gartner predicts that by\u00a02025, the AI- and data-science-equipped VC or PE investor will become commonplace. Increased\u00a0advanced analytics<\/a>\u00a0capabilities\u00a0are rapidly shifting the early-stage venture investing strategy away from gut feel and qualitative decision making to a more\u00a0modern\u00a0platform-based quantitative process. Information gathered from sources such as LinkedIn, PitchBook, Crunchbase and Owler, along with third-party data marketplaces,\u00a0can be leveraged\u00a0alongside\u00a0diverse past and current investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis data is increasingly being used to build sophisticated models that can better determine the viability, strategy and potential outcome of an investment in a short amount of time. Questions such as when to invest, where to invest and how much to invest are becoming almost automated,\u201d said Mr. Stakenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Will Help Determine If Leadership Teams Will Succeed or Fail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current AI technology is already capable of providing insights into customer desires and predicting future behavior. Unique profiles can be built\u00a0with little to no human input,\u00a0which\u00a0can be further developed via\u00a0natural language processing AI<\/a>\u00a0that can determine qualities about an individual from\u00a0real-time\u00a0or audio recordings.\u00a0While this technology is currently used primarily for marketing and sales purposes, by 2025, investment organizations will be leveraging it to determine which\u00a0leadership teams are most likely to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe personality traits and work patterns required for success will be quantified in the same manner that the product and its use in the market, market size and financial details are currently measured,\u201d said Mr. Stakenas. \u201cAI tools will be used to determine how likely a leadership team is to succeed based on employment history, field expertise and previous business success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
