Most VCs believe data will transform every industry… except their own.

That contradiction sparked something radical.

Rob Hodgkinson, MD at SignalRank, isn’t just another investor. He’s part of a quiet revolution—one that's rewriting how we pick winners in venture capital.

📈 Instead of betting on founders or decks, they bet on investor track records.

👀 Instead of chasing hype, they eliminate zeros through an algorithm that mimics the logic of hedge funds.

And just like that, a radically new approach to venture capital reveals itself—high precision, low recall investing at Series B.

💸 LPs get index-like exposure with vintage diversification.

🌍 Seed investors get pro-rata access they otherwise couldn't afford.

📈 The SignalRank Index may one day be listed like a public ETF.

It’s a new paradigm.

An entirely different way to be in venture.

The age of artisanal investing is giving way to systematic precision.

And, they have gained ground rapidly.

SignalRank sees 60% of the Series B market and invests in the top 5%.

And in 2 short years, they’ve become the second most active Series B investor globally, right behind a16z.

Ask yourself:

If 50%+ of public assets are indexed… why is venture still hand-crafted?

🚀 This is Venture 3.0. Are you ready?

And this is all that we discussed:

Pro-Rata Rights as an Access Strategy
The Philosophical Divide in Venture: Craft vs. System
Building a Publicly Tradable Venture Product
Scaling Through SPV Infrastructure
Vintage Diversification as a Structural Advantage
and so much more…

If you're a seed investor looking to defend your winners, or an LP tired of inaccessible managers, SignalRank is building the bridge between exclusivity and access.
