Deckmatch

Stoked to be back in SF to expand our design partner program of AlphaLens to the West Coast, and I’ll also be presenting at Bifrost with some quality startups from the Nordics in dual use, semi conductors and AI on Tuesday at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Centre.

So here's the latest banger from Walid Fayez Mustapha, PhD and the wider engineering team for AlphaLens AI. Here's our guiding thesis: The world doesn't need another directory of companies - it needs (product) data and quality search - that's why we exist. Some highlights from this release in the demo video below: ? Company look up ? Company Level Data ? Product Level Data (what we're known for) ? Find Similar Products Natural Language Search (what we're really good at) across: ? Companies ? Products ? Customer Verticals (which is super powerful!) What does all this mean: Well now you can find companies based on intent, by virtue of who they sell to, or who they look like. We're signing up design partners like hotcakes, so if you'd like a key to the new front door we're building for private markets - drop a comment :)

Remember when finding something on the internet meant clicking through endless directories? (Looking at you, Yahoo '94) Yet here we are in 2025, still searching for companies like we're thumbing through the Yellow Pages. Our "Yellow Pages Problem" thought piece caught the attention of both Data-Driven VC and TechCrunch (thanks Dr. Andre Retterath and Julie Bort!). Today, I'm sharing the underlying Y Combinator analysis that shows what happens when you finally move beyond directories and into AI search: * See what companies actually build, where they compete and where they complement one another * Uncover market patterns that keyword searches dream about * Find companies the way you naturally think about them (no boolean operators required) Product reveal at 2:44 - and a little something special for the founders who make tomorrow interesting ?? The future of private market search isn't about building a better phonebook - it's about understanding what companies actually create and who they serve. ?? Full analysis: labs.alphalens.com ??

Last week I had the opportunity to present our "google moment for private markets" on stage at Slush, and unveil our latest product. It builds from the piece I wrote in Data-Driven VC about the yellow pages problem of private markets, and parts of this were picked up by TechCrunch for an article about YC's habit of backing multiple horses in the same race. Below is the video from that session, complete with data visualisations out the wazoo. Let me know if your as excited as we are about product level data!
