AI in Venture Capital
This episode investigates the adoption and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) within European venture capital (VC) firms, a topic previously under-researched despite AI's growing presence in finance. Based on survey data, the study we discuss reveals a significant increase in AI adoption since 2022, with screening emerging as its most common application. The research also identifies that VC firms with employees possessing strong ICT backgrounds are more likely to integrate AI. While AI has been shown to reduce due diligence time, its overall long-term benefits on VC operations remain largely inconclusive due to limited data, suggesting a need for more extensive future research.
