News of the Day

SignalFire, the data-obsessed venture firm once dismissed as radical, has just raised over $1 billion in fresh capital — its largest raise yet — bringing assets under management to $3 billion. Founder Chris Farmer, who pioneered AI-driven investing back in 2012, says SignalFire now plays in the big leagues, with backing from giants like CalPERS. The firm uses AI not just to scout deals, but to support portfolio companies with recruiting and marketing — a model Farmer says is more holistic than most VC attempts at “data.” While others chase AI model builders, SignalFire is doubling down on defensible, niche startups in sectors like legaltech, healthcare, and dev tools — businesses that can’t be easily copied or leapfrogged.
