Datainsight

What is Datainsight?

Datainsight is an angel investment network based in London, UK, focusing on early-stage and seed investments, with an investment range between 15,000 and 100,000. They target startups that are at the forefront of realizing the value in automation, particularly those developing technologies that automate tasks to increase productivity.

Aside from automation, Datainsight is interested in decentralized finance (DeFi), the use of machine learning or 'narrow AI' to enhance B2B offerings, and the integration of virtual or augmented reality (XR) into B2B services.The team at Datainsight brings experience across product management, finance, recruitment, compliance, and marketing.

They contribute more than just capital; they are hands-on investors who offer their time and expertise to ensure their portfolio companies maximize their likelihood of success. Thus, they are not a good fit for startups seeking purely passive investors.Datainsight has been involved in investments or exits with a number of companies, including Logical Glue, Iceberg, NorthRow, Livesmart, Kluster, Aistetic, and Extend Robotics, among others.

Their interest is not solely in the startup's idea but also heavily in the founding team.

They value founders who have the ability to navigate challenges, possess complementary skills, and combine technical expertise with business development and operational acumen.Startups looking for investment should have a due diligence pack ready, including financials, projections, and funding round details.

Datainsight prefers direct contact with startups that have a working product or unique intellectual property which can be discussed without a nondisclosure agreement (NDA).

Meetings are held preferably face-to-face, in London or at the startup's location.Additionally, the angel network is a member of the AWS Activate program, offering eligible startups up to $10,000 in grants for AWS infrastructure services to help them scale and grow their business.
