  • The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Decision- Making in Venture Capital Firms
    The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Decision- Making in Venture Capital Firms Christina Schmidt Dissertation written under the supervision of Gonçalo Saraiva Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the MSc in International Management, at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, 07.06.2019. Abstract Title: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Decision-Making in Venture Capital Firms. Author: Christina Schmidt Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Venture Capital Industry, Decision-Making Process, Technology This exploratory study examines the opportunity of Artificial Intelligence in the decision-making process of Venture Capitals. Investors have to take decisions under uncertainty, time pressure and suffer from bias. This study investigates the potential of Artificial Intelligence to overcome these challenges and improve the process. The results are based on a qualitative analysis based on 12 interviews with Venture Capitals, AI Experts, and companies offering solutions for Venture Capitals as well as secondary data in form of academic articles and online magazines. The findings reveal that Artificial Intelligence is currently mostly implemented at the beginning of the decision-making process. The usage of Artificial Intelligence improves the process of making decisions by lowering uncertainty, bias and increasing productivity and efficiency. The interviews show that that AI can be implemented in every step in the decision-making process and presents the specific use cases. Furthermore, implementation challenges and implications for practice are outlined. By applying AI, Venture Capitals improve their decision-making process, which ultimately could have a positive impact on the return of their portfolio. Resumo Título: O impacto da Inteligência Artificial no processo de tomada de decisão em empresas de capital de risco.
