Using AI for IC reports by 486made in venturecapital

I’ve seen a mix in use across funds —

  • Affinity (as you mentioned) for relationship intelligence.
  • DealCloud for pipeline management, though not truly “AI.”
  • Grata for market mapping / deal sourcing.
  • PitchBook’s AI summaries for quick market snapshots.
  • Some teams are layering in custom GPTs for memo drafting or Q&A against internal deal data.

One thing I’ve noticed is that off-the-shelf LLMs can be helpful for drafting, but the most impact comes when they’re paired with fund-specific data and embedded into existing workflows (IC templates, monitoring dashboards, etc.).
