Chapter 8 – Venture AI And Entrepreneurial Jobs In Startups

As reported by PwC and CB Insights' MoneyTree Report, the overall growth of Venture Capital investments activity in the United States reached $100 billion in 2018 - a truly watershed moment. And as U.S. Senator, Everett Dirksen once said: "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money"... So, since we are talking about so many billions, it's more important than ever for the VC community to make smarter investments. Instead of relying on startup founder's charisma, or the quality of his/her pitch deck, well-trained AI can help to predict investment's success probability much faster than going through manual analysis, and with far fewer emotions while at it. All business plans should meet the same rigorous and unbiased investment criteria - and this is where AI comes handy. It can be used all across the board: to discover, evaluate and support VC's investments! For example blogs, posts and other social media sources can be successfully scanned using Natural Language Processing - to identify early-stage companies searching for CVC/IVC investors. And since AI can be constantly fed with new data sets and new information, it can follow the emerging trends - accurately.
