FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DISRUPTION, GREENSPRING PARTNER ON VC DATA PLATFORM
Hubble delivers private market metrics and portfolio tools to venture investors
ARLINGTON, Va. (Feb. 12, 2015) – Disruption Corporation and Greenspring Associates today announced they have partnered to build a scalable data analytics platform delivering predictive and visual analytics on Greenspring’s existing portfolios, prospective deals and the venture capital industry as a whole. Greenspring’s executive team announced the partnership directly to its investors and presented its customized version of the platform at the firm’s annual meeting in Park City, Utah.
The platform, called HubbleTM for its ability to show investors the universe of venture opportunities and zoom in on individual data points, is at the core of Disruption Corporation’s and Greenspring’s vision to leverage technology to deliver a better analytical toolset for the maturing private market and its participants. HubbleTM allows users to track financial and other performance indicators on both a company and portfolio level, and to compare them against each other and the broader market.
“Our collaboration with Greenspring confirms the existence of a huge unmet need,” said Paul Singh, founder of Disruption Corporation. “We are a perfect fit because we have the technical expertise to build a next generation analysis platform, and Greenspring will use HubbleTM to augment its existing data analytics capabilities. Together we’re building a platform that helps investors and their teams make better decisions.”
Founded in 2000, Greenspring is a global venture capital investment firm that manages more than $3 billion of committed capital, investing in globally diversified portfolios for clients primarily in the technology, life sciences, and technologyenabled services sectors. Building on the use of its own proprietary database of more than 3,500 companies, Greenspring will use HubbleTM to augment its data collection and analytics capabilities.
“Greenspring clearly recognizes that data analytics are one of our core differentiators,” said Ashton Newhall, cofounder of Greenspring Associates. “Through our longterm partnership with Disruption, we believe we have an opportunity and shared vision to use the HubbleTM platform as a catalyst for a whole new approach to financial analysis in the private investing arena.”
