Embracing a Data-Driven Strategy in Venture Capital At Sandwater we believe that data-driven decision-making is essential for creating long-term value in venture capital. As the private markets evolve, having a clear strategy to harness and control our data isn’t just beneficial—it’s transformative. By building a foundation of strong data ownership, we’re enhancing every stage of our process, from evaluating new investments to managing our portfolio. This approach allows us to react quickly to market changes, identify new opportunities, and drive efficiencies across the board, empowering our team with the insights they need to act decisively. An important step in this journey has been integrating flexible tools, like our recent partnership with Whalesync to streamline data across platforms. This integration ensures that we have a unified, real-time view of critical information, furthering our ability to make informed, timely decisions. At Sandwater we’re excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in venture capital through a data-driven strategy.

Want to learn how Sandwater uses Affinity and Airtable to source thousands of deals for their Series A venture fund? 👇 Over the last few years, the VC world has undergone a massive shift toward data-driven investing. While CRMs like Affinity and DealCloud give funds a place to store information on prospective deals, they don't provide an efficient way to parse and edit thousands of data points. "So many VCs are caught in a hamster wheel of working up and screening thousands of deals." - Morten Korsveien, head of ops and finance To gain ownership of their data and put an end to CSV importing, Sandwater used Whalesync to set up a two-way sync between Affinity and Airtable. By bringing Affinity into Airtable, Sandwater was able to work with the treasure trove of data previously locked in their CRM, taking advantage of the flexibility of a spreadsheet. "By creating a single source of truth, Whalesync allows us to stay ahead of the curve compared to our peers and save time, focusing on what really matters." See the first comment for the full story!
