Venture Funding and Patent Portfolio
With the rise in Venture Capital investments, it is necessary to provide investors with additional information apart from traditional data sources. A good investment indicator is the patent data of a company. Patents allow investors to know the technical capability and intellectual property of a company. This enables much more sound investments. However, a major drawback is the unavailability of a consolidated data source providing all the information. The project aims to resolve this by developing a novel algorithm for fast fuzzy matching of two companies between Pitchbook funding data and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) data.
