Venture capital is changing fast and the next wave of fundraising will be powered by data, AI, and intelligent matching between founders and investors. In Part 2 of this BASELINE conversation, Daniel Sawko (CEO of ShipShape VC) shares how hyper-contextual investor search can save founders from wasted meetings, how AI will reshape deal flow, and why frontier markets like space and defence are creating entirely new funding dynamics.
