Motherbrain

Dedicated to transform the industry

EQT’s Motherbrain team is transforming the digital way of thinking within the private equity industry, by leveraging Big Data and Machine Learning to give EQT a unique edge.

Leveraging data

Motherbrain started in 2016 as a platform for EQT Ventures to be truly data-driven in finding the best tech start-ups to invest in. As thousands of new start-ups are founded every day, no human can rate them all.

Today, a number of potential investments, identified with Motherbrain and assessed by EQT Ventures, have grown into potential investments for EQT Growth, creating an extension to the rest of the EQT platform.

Motherbrain supports the tracking of company life-cycles rather than deal life-cycles, ending at a fund’s exit. By visualizing and making the data accessible, building on a common corporate memory and collectively trained algorithms, Motherbrain creates structural competitive advantages enabling EQT to make faster and more substantiated decisions.
