AI and Venturing – Venture Club Session Recap
How members are putting AI to work across the venturing process, from startup scouting to customer validation, and what it takes to get it past corporate IT.
Which parts of the venturing process are members actually handing to AI, and which are they keeping?
Recaps are anonymised by design: no names, no companies.
Members compared how they are using AI across the venturing process: automating startup scouting and evaluation, building data-driven personas for customer validation, and proving productivity gains to sceptical stakeholders. The conversation ran from concrete tool recommendations to the sandbox infrastructure needed to test AI offerings safely inside a corporate environment.
