"So, spoiler alert, software. :-)"
This got me thinking... I really do think that better tools for sourcing deal flow are a foundational component of the next age of entrepreneurship. Crowdfunding isn't working as precisely as some have hypothesized. I'd be really curious to see how companies like AngelList & Mattermark are parsing their data to determine correlative attributes of "fundable" companies. Any thoughts/ideas on traction toward successfully automating dealflow?
- tedmiston 10y agoI have been building my own mini version of Mattermark as a curiosity project. I'm not even interested in deal flow as much as being able to predict rising startups. In terms of being a software engineer, I look at this is a career tool. I'm sure the bigger VCs and accelerators are building interesting things in this space but I haven't found much that's open source. As data points, AngelList and Crunchbase are good starting places, but the AngelList API is private and the Crunchbase API is paid.
