VCs typically make investment decisions based on exhaustive research, personal networks, and gut intuition, but technology adoption continues to change the investment landscape. More applications of unique datasets, custom scoring algorithms, and AI-powered data warehouses are becoming the norm. However, while these tools have helped firms understand the people and markets they’re investing in, companies still do not feel confident enough to solely rely on their tech stack to make decisions.
This is where Relationship Intelligence plays a key role. Relationship intelligence is a category of insights about an organization’s shared business network that drive how dealmakers spend their time finding, managing, and closing deals. Investors that tap into these insights increase their dealflow by 25% and save over 200 hours each year by automating contact and deal data entry.
But what does this really mean and how are different companies using it to build relationships and close deals more efficiently – especially as more firms face macroeconomic pressure?
