On August 21, 2017, Wildcat Venture Partners hosted an intimate evening for our portfolio and industry friends on How to Differentiate with Data Science.

We welcomed special guest speaker, Eric Colson, Chief Algorithms Officer at Stitch Fix, who discussed what it means to differentiate by data science vs. merely using it as a supportive tactic.

Guests sampled signature drinks and tasty bites at Wayfare Tavern’s Redwood Room in San Francisco, while Eric shared how the availability of data and compute resources, combined with the emergence of new business models, have enabled data science to become a strategic differentiator for some companies.

It was a great evening of meaningful conversation with local Bay Area top data scientists.
