Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: A Network-based Approach to Venture Capital

Project tags:
Team Eureka collaborated with PitchBook to leverage their rich, proprietary data on VC investments and NoSQL technology, to organize and visualize the data in a way that adds value for its customers. The team has developed an interactive visual experience based on a powerful knowledge graph database that empowers VCs and companies alike to explore their network and find the shortest path to their next investor or investment. Additionally, users can filter on AUM industry verticals amongst other dimensions. The shared vision is to fully integrate the feature into PitchBook’s product as an extension to its current offerings.
