Texas-based VC firm Ensemble secured $100M for its debut fund.   The firm uses a data-driven approach to evaluate the strength of the founding team of potential investment opportunities. Ensemble is an industry-agnostic investor.  The Ensemble team, according to West, developed a data algorithm that evaluates employees at a company and aids in identifying businesses with investment potential based on the strength of their workforce. The data-driven approach also helps them identify areas of improvement in portfolio startups.  Ensemble undertakes due diligence before making final investment decisions.  The firm was founded by Collin West, Conrad Shang, and Gopinath Sundaramurthy.  Shang was formerly a limited partner at UTIMCO.
