Building a startup? Looking for investors? πŸ€“πŸ“ˆπŸ’°

Project A is an operational venture capital firm that invests in early stage companies from a variety of industries such as digital health, robotics, and mobility amongst others.
They are a European focused fund, have backed 70+ digital companies across 15 industries and 12 countries.
How to reach out to them?
They have a webform so absolutely anyone can get their company in front of them: is.gd/Cj9fcE
When is the best time to reach out?
They like connecting and partnering with founders as early as possible. Whether you’re thinking about starting something or you’re raising a seed or A round.
What should you have in advance, before reaching out to connect?
Firstly, do come with an ask.

Whether you’re currently raising a round or building relationships ahead of a fundraising process.
Providing them with sufficient information upfront and ahead of interactions means they can best spend time digging into what matters.
This can be in any format but a pitch deck is typically the easiest way to get your ideas across to them (there are a lot of resources online on how best to structure this!).
At what stage do they invest in?
They invest from day zero to Series A, this is from pre-product, pre-launch to companies that have products in the market and are scaling their distribution.

Whenever you want to find out more about a company and its product/services, you go for their website.

Having a great website is essential for your business, and it is surprising how many of them still suck!

Potential investors, customers, and partners are going to check out your site, and you want to impress them with a professional product.

What is Kuwala?

@Kuwala is a tool to build rich features for analytics based on clean data.

It uses #PySpark in combination with #Parquet for data processing.
Florian GrΓΌning got in contact with me, on LinkedIn.

Together with Matti Grotheer, Co-Founder of Kuwala, he is building out an open-source project to commoditize data science. Right now their open-source projects focus very much on data scientists and spatial data.
They provide data enthusiasts with data pipelines for worldwide scaled data on high-resolution demographics, popular times data, and POI data.

They call themselves
β€˜creative bunch of data nerdsβ€˜

orchest.io
Build pipelines iteratively by editing and connecting notebooks and scripts.

@RickLamers and github.com/yannickperrenet πŸ‘‹
are the Co-Founders of this πŸ”₯ Startup!
Jupyter notebooks are a dominant tool for data scientists, but they lack a number of conveniences for building reusable and maintainable systems.
orchest.io

No frameworks. No YAML.
Just write your data processing code directly
in Python, R, Julia or Bash.

Lidar with Velocity:
Motion Distortion Correction of Point Clouds
from Oscillating Scanning Lidars

In this paper, Gaussian-based lidar and camera fusion is proposed to estimate the full velocity and correct the lidar distortion.
Lidar point cloud distortion from moving object is an important problem in autonomous driving, and recently becomes even more demanding with the emerging of newer lidars, which feature back-and-forth scanning patterns.
Accurately estimating moving object velocity would not only provide a tracking capability but also correct the point cloud distortion with more accurate description of the moving object.
