Buy the Core, Build the Edge: Finance Tooling in the Age of AI

​Earlybird’s Finance Team is excited to welcome you back to the VC Finance Club!

This VC-Finance-Club session brings together Fundrbird and Vestberry to discuss how AI is changing the way venture capital firms approach their finance systems. The conversation will explore the choice between buying specialist software and building custom solutions, including how these approaches can work together to support fund management, reporting and internal workflows.

​Using Earlybird’s setup as a practical example, the session will look at how different tools connect, where automation can support finance teams and what firms should consider when developing their own systems. The discussion will offer perspectives on software selection and integration, with a focus on the needs of VC finance teams and the trade-offs involved in different approaches.
