Complementing our virtual event formats, there are various physical events happening in the DDVC ecosystem. Today, we’d like to spotlight and share insights from a recent hackathon in Paris, hosted by our friends at Red River West.

The First DDVC Hackathon

⏳48 hours, 80+ developers & data scientists from 30+ VC funds and 10+ engineering schools building 11 different projects across four themes:

  1. VC sourcing: tools to find the best startups & talents with data

  2. Startup analysis: tools to better analyze startups using alternative data & AI

  3. VC productivity: tools to enhance VC productivity by automating reporting, etc.

  4. Market search & trends: tools to catch market trends, perform deep dives, etc.

All these projects are open-source, meaning you can leverage them, integrate them into your fund stack, or even build a startup based on them! Find the link at the end of this episode.
