Asked how to spot a strong AI investment in 2025, a venture investor says their firm looks for viral effects and network effects. They emphasize that each venture capital firm has its own thesis, so founders should understand the particular investor before pitching.
The guest says their firm publishes a company scorecard and looks for a score of at least 80 out of 100 as a starting point for conversation. They also describe attending and hosting AI events where founders can meet investors and demonstrate products.
The investor says VCs exchange information, including in a private group they run, but adds that founders also talk to one another and assess investors. In their view, reputation and evaluation work in both directions.
