With a look at the business of venture capital, this episode of Innovations will educate viewers about how WR Hambrecht Ventures is using technology, big data, machine learning, and data science to turn the venture capital model upside down.
"It's hard to predict which startups will be disruptive and which won't. So, over a decade ago we started gathering and analyzing lots of data that's allowed us to quantify and predict disruption. We've also taken it a step further, using big data and machine learning to spot disruptive startups across the globe that we reach out to directly. Instead of first meeting startups, then screening them, now we do the screening first - digitally – and then meet the most disruptive ones by contacting them. This is not only giving us better insights into startups and markets, but it's opened up the whole world in a way that's more of a meritocracy. It helps us find the best startups, proactively, wherever they happen to be," said Bill Hambrecht, Partner, WR Hambrecht Ventures.
Viewers will learn how bringing advanced technologies into the world of venture capital is changing the industry by combining the best of both humans and machines to help investors better find top startups, and to level the playing field for more innovators worldwide.
