The tech world likes to think it's driven by cold, hard data. But is that really the case when it comes to making investment decisions? CB Insights founder Anand Sanwal isn't so sure.
In this fascinating discussion, Anand explores the often consensus-driven nature of venture capital. As the executive chairman of CB Insights, he has a unique perspective on the tech landscape.
Anand argues that despite the abundance of data, investment choices frequently come down to following narratives rather than good data analysis. He’s also skeptical that the average VC investor has the data savviness to properly leverage information advantages.
Beyond the venture capital/data dynamic, Anand discusses how AI will likely be implemented into enterprise workflows and how data companies can differentiate themselves. The conversation also touches on Anand’s insights for managing a personal brand and how he decided when to step away from his startup.
