šŸ‘‹Ā Hi, I’m Andre and welcome to my newsletter Data-Driven VC which is all about becoming a better investor with Data & AI. Join 31,420 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 ā€œPicks of the Weekā€ 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.

If you want your own startup, your portfolio company, or just a rockstar team to get featured in front of our audience of 30k+ investors, submit it for free here.
