Private Equity @ Bloomberg Invest Summit in New York

I was watching an interview with CircleUp's CEO about quantifying private equity. They seem to be doing a good job in the consumer space. I've never heard of them(I might possibly be living under a rock), but what do you guys think, can you have a successful PE firm that makes decisions solely on data? Is this the way forward?
