ISN'T EVERY INVESTOR DATA-DRIVEN?

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Most VCs think they're data-driven, but they see only the deals that come to them (mostly founders reaching out), have time to collect just a handful of data points per company, and then make gut calls based on whatever similar companies they've personally seen before. True data-driven investors use technology to dramatically expand their view - they scrape the entire web to find every possible deal, gather mountains of data on each company automatically, and analyze it all with consistent algorithms instead of morning-coffee intuition.
