Harvard Innovation Labs 2024 demo day! 🎇 I had the opportunity to participate in the current run of the Harvard Innovation Labs, assessing 26 startups as a potential investor. I can't share details about these companies, but I can tell you what I appreciate about this event. 1️⃣ First of all, I would like to emphasize the digital format of this event. You can choose your location and time when ready for a big load of innovation. However, after you watch a 3-minute pitch, you can't go back and must decide immediately whether you want to proceed with contact with the startup or not and move to the following startup pitch. 2️⃣ All of these startups share a common trait - they have big ambitions to solve, if not a global issue, at least a significant problem for a certain continent. Thank you to Aneta Klímová & Hi for giving me this opportunity 🙏

Geographic information can help answer questions like: - Which jurisdictions do our funds generate economic activity in? - Are the technologies we fund staying in the locations we intend? - Where are the hotspots for innovation in a given area? And it being tracked in real-time helps with notifications like: - This innovation emerged in your district or city - A technology was recently funded near you - A technology in your portfolio just collaborated overseas Geographic information is a kind of freebie when it comes to using public information to track innovation activity. The location of an activity is often mentioned or implied in articles so it can be easily extracted and we do this as a matter of course. Location is naturally hierarchical so whether you want it at the address, city, state, national or international level it's easily mapped from tracked information.

Is your innovation happening where you want it to? Are your startups really making waves in the right markets? Pinpointing where innovations thrive is critical.

Today we highlight a powerful insight from Aviv Antebi, Founder of Geomatrix, as he reflects on the journey of startup development: "The path to innovation is as critical as the final destination. Before launching that million-dollar idea into the world, it’s crucial to pause and strategize. Building a robust strategy not only clarifies the route but significantly enhances the likelihood of achieving your desired outcomes. Remember, all great businesses are constructed from numerous teams, each dedicated to strategizing and crafting detailed business plans.

At Geomatrix, we foster an environment where such meticulous planning is supported and encouraged, ensuring that every visionary idea is matched with a strategic pathway to success."
