Quantitative VC: A New Way to Growth

Abstract

Innovation is the sole driver of productivity—and with it, growth across all asset classes. But the asset class in charge of financing innovation is in trouble: Conventional VC has failed to deliver superior returns, assumes great investment risks, and remains tiny in size. Traditional VC ignores the dramatic changes in the larger innovation ecosystem, including a new dimension of technology, talent, and culture that allows for the mass production of progress. Quantitative V C is a new, scientific approach that leverages ecosystems rather than individual startups and provides a new innovation capital infrastructure. It shows the risk mitigation, returns, and scalability required to unlock the great opportunity of our time: technology startup innovation.
