Firms that can systematically capture and leverage data, not only external and performance data, but also human predictions, judgements and decisions, will be well positioned to achieve a future competitive advantage. We started this years ago, and we’re not slowing down.

We know that ground breaking technology and a strong community can disrupt any industry and solve almost any problem. That's why Motherbrain was created, a startup if you will, dedicated to transform the very industry we operate in and helping to turn more great entrepreneurs into global winners.

Motherbrain is an EQT platform-wide initiative leveraging data and machine learning for recommendations on new deals, add-on acquisitions, market analysis and industry trends. It’s a digital tool with interfaces for both data scientists and investment professionals.

Motherbrain crunches, finds and analyzes digital footprints and patterns in enormous amounts of company/people/market/consumer data from multiple sources. 

The original use-case was to algorithmically source deals for the Venture fund, but Motherbrain has since developed into a macro analysis motor for all of EQT. Several of Ventures’ best performing investments were sourced using Motherbrain.
