VC Beat: Corporations deploy $3 Billion in less than seven (7) months in 2023 to AI. Generative AI shines. Successful exits abound. quote "Corporate interest in generative AI has been all over the news, and is now showing up in the investment numbers, with June seeing a strong leap in the number and value of funding rounds for startups in this area. The June generative AI deal total was boosted by the $1.3bn fundraise by language model software developer Inflection AI, led by Microsoft and Nvidia, but with everyone from Reid Hoffman to Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt jumping in. But other large deals included a $270m round for AI developer Cohere and a $100m raise by enterprise AI content creator Typeface." end-quote. #vc, #privateequity, #familyoffices, #familyoffice, #venturecapital, #fundraising, #wealthmanagement, #israel, #siliconvalley, #familyoffices, #privateequity, #wealthtech, #machinelearning, #deeplearning, #artificialintelligence, #corporatefinance https://lnkd.in/eaAt_EVU

Last week I got to see the power of AI-augmented funds for the first time. I was pitched by 6 tech founders - every single pitch suggested by our AI. Three things immediately stood out versus my time in venture capital a couple of years ago: - Every startup had impressive traction or a unique idea. - The AAA calibre of the founders, from former CIA analysts to Tesla battery engineers. And of course, most importantly: They were all automatically spotted by Mantis, Chamaeleon's in-house platform and the brainchild of Nuno Goncalves Pedro and Armindo Costa. Mantis uses AI and multi-factor analysis to find high-potential startups in every corner of the world. It took several years to get it this far. It’s still being developed. Thanks to it, our team spent zero manual labor to gain access to these deals. VC funds that don’t upgrade into AI-augmentation are clearly going to be disrupted. We believe the best investors in this AI cycle will be those who learn to harness its power daily, instead of chasing pitch deck fairy tales. We are series Seed and A investors. Have a cool week. #ai #venturecapital #dealflow

AI can automate and streamline the process of scoring startups, analyzing startups or pitch deck analysis, using data from multiple sources and criteria. AI can also help VCs discover new opportunities and trends, by identifying emerging markets, technologies, and problems that need solutions. For example, SignalFire is a VC firm that uses AI to track over 8 million companies and find the best ones to invest in. It also provides data-driven support and guidance to its portfolio companies. AI is not a replacement for human judgment and intuition, but a powerful tool that can augment and enhance it. By using AI, VCs can make better decisions, faster and smarter. And by doing so, they can support more innovative and impactful startups that can shape the future of our society. At ABRT AI Lab, we are building Data-Driven AI apps that take the Venture Capital industry to the next level. We track thousands of early-stage companies, providing objective, data-driven insights for informed investment decisions. I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic.
