👋 Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my newsletter Data-Driven VC which is all about becoming a better investor with Data & AI. Join 31,800 thought leaders from VCs like a16z, Accel, Index, Sequoia, and more to understand how startup investing becomes more data-driven, why it matters, and what it means for you.
Welcome to another “Picks of the Week” episode where we spotlight the hottest stealth, early, and growth startups across regions and sectors - based on data & signals (find last week’s edition here).
This format is a collaboration with Harmonic as they help us source the companies based on unique growth signals. Get a personalized feed of trending startups for your specific criteria here.
