Palo Alto-based investment platform SignalRank has just unveiled Version 4 (v4) of its AI-powered company selection engine, marking two years of strong performance and data-backed growth.
Built on an ensemble of heuristics and machine learning, v4 can reject up to 87% of underperforming Series B opportunities and aims to deliver an average 6x return over five years for each investment cohort. According to SignalRank, this performance surpasses all known Series B investors, including top-tier names.
The firm also celebrated a major milestone:
- 35 Series B investments completed in 24 months
- Top-10 returns for both 2023 and 2024 cohorts (MOIC: 1.26x and 1.2x)
- Access to the SignalRank Index now open to accredited investors globally
Notable companies in the SignalRank Index include Together AI, Saronic, Mercor, and Chainguard — all part of a diversified AI and deep tech portfolio.
“This is a decision support engine for our partners and a return engine for investors,” said CEO & CTO Keith Teare.
“We’re blending human intuition with algorithmic precision.”
The company is backed by tech leaders such as Garry Tan (Y Combinator), Vint Cerf (Google), and Tim Draper (Draper Associates).
With ambitions to list the Index for retail access, SignalRank is positioning itself as a next-gen VC model — and a roadmap for quant-style allocation in private markets.
