Our capstone sponsor is PitchBook, a company that provides financial database and platform for Private Equity and Venture Capital professionals. While VC’s today have access to millions of data points, determining the hard-to-grasp “market sentiment” is still difficult. Various heuristics can be deployed to test sentiment, including financial news data. We built SentiSage, a working prototype which provides VC and PE professionals with sentiment analysis on news data and presents insights through visualizations and a user interface. Because of SentiSage, our users can better access the data points and trends they need when making crucial decisions in a volatile market.
