Today's Venture Opportunities in Data Science

Summary: If you want to capitalize on all the amazing advancements in data science through your own venture-funded start up, where are the best opportunities? With all our recent talk about Convolutional Neural Nets (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Nets (RNNs), innovations in text, speech, and image processing and now third generation Spiking Neural Nets you probably share my feeling that these new cutting edge data science technologies are huge opportunities waiting to be exploited. Perhaps you are thinking like an entrepreneur and wondering how you can capitalize on this in a venture-funded company. It's an interesting question and quite different from deciding to use these technologies to the benefit of your current employer or client. To be VC funded in anything, including a data science based opportunity there are many criteria, not the least of which is to be out in front of everyone else.
