InReach Ventures, the so-called “AI-powered” venture capital firm based in London, is announcing the first closing of a new €53 million fund targeting early-stage European technology companies — surpassing the original fund target of €50 million, apparently.

Venture capital firms are using machine learning to make their investment decisions. Here's how to use AI for better business insights and better access to funds.

Any current discussion of artificial intelligence in the workforce centers on how it will impact -- or outright replace -- certain departments or even employees.

VC polarizes people. Depending on who you ask, it can be described both as toxic capital and as a golden ticket to crushing competition and becoming the next unicorn. The reality is, while definitely not suitable for everyone, VC is the top option available to high-risk startups chasing hypergrowth – one that has enabled the rise of the tech industry as we know it today.

Firms are using algorithms to uncover potential investments

One of the biggest challenges for venture capital companies is finding interesting investment targets before anyone else. It is often a laborious, travel-intensive job. But machine learning and predictive analytics are starting to transform how an investor puts a portfolio together.

In the US, if venture capital investors or tech company founders need to find each other, they go to one of two places: Silicon Valley or New York. Companies that need tech workers, and the media that follow them, eventually relocate or open offices in one of those two areas.

To many entrepreneurs, ‘CEO’ (chief executive officer) is merely a title, and doesn’t carry too much meaning. The reality is the contrary: being a CEO is the most difficult and important role.

Over the last 5 weeks, many entrepreneurs have asked about the position of InReach Ventures, given COVID-19 and the potential business implications for the fund, the investment portfolio and the overall investment strategy.

When assessing investment opportunities, one of the most frequent questions I ask entrepreneurs is about market analysis. Although it is a crucial element of the conversation we have, I have a feeling its relevance is often neglected (to be honest, I’m not sure what the reasons are, but that is another topic of discussion).

There is an emerging trend towards the use of data and software to evolve and develop the existing venture capital model.

Today we are announcing the first closing of a new fund of €53m, targeted at early stage European technology companies.

A Framework for Founders and Funders

Efficiency. Speed. Proactive outreach.

Since joining InReach Ventures as a Data Scientist I have been learning a tremendous amount about entrepreneurship and what it takes to build a company. In the following post, I develop how I applied my learnings while working on my latest side-project: a SaaS product for cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

Technology entrepreneurship is fuelled by the relationship between founders and funders. The question for both is: how to engage with each other to build an effective relationship?

Christoph’s post a while ago on Point Nine’s Tech Stack was a great read. I love it when people pull back the curtain to demystify what can be quite an aloof industry.
