Everyone’s asking whether AI will replace fund managers. They’re asking the wrong question. The right one is: how will it redefine them?

The role of a GP used to be simple:

→ Build relationships.

→ Exercise judgment.

→ Raise the next fund.

That’s changing. Now, it’s relationship + judgment + data leverage. The best managers today still rely on trust and intuition, but they’re adding a new dimension: data leverage.

AI won’t necessarily make the investment call, but it will make the context visible. It will surface the right LPs, identify alignment, track signals, and compress the time from decision to action.

In private markets, speed builds trust. The managers who pair human conviction with machine precision will win the next cycle.

That’s the evolution we’re designing for at Vessel: a world where GPs can act with precision.

They see and LPs don’t wait. They act.
