Industry observers have noted a recent surge in cold outreach to startups (like Zipline) from various growth funds, all expressing strikingly similar investment hypotheses and talking points.
This sparks an interesting discussion about AI-native investing: investors are likely using similar AI models to generate their investment theses and outreach scripts, naturally driving consensus. The conversation raises a forward-looking question—at what point will VC firms remove the human intermediary entirely and let AI reach out and negotiate with portfolio companies directly?
