## Investments

| Company | Description | Amount | Stage | Date | Website |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 3veta | We started 3veta at the beginning of the pandemic. Back then we found out that on average people spend a shocking 2.5 hours per week scheduling meetings. 3veta handles everything from the scheduling (team-shared calendars, meeting links, invitations, and booking pages) to the actual video calls. Right now we’ve got close to 2000 remote teams usingthe platform . For them, 3veta is cheaper and more user-friendly than getting Microsoft Teams, Google GSuite, or integrating Zoom with other tools. | $283.6K | Debt Financing | Jul 13, 2020 |  |
| 365 Data Science | At 365 Data Science, we all come to work because we want to solve the biggest problem in data science. Education. People who want to enter the field do not know where to start. They wonder whether they need a PhD, or perhaps a few years in a remotely related job. Universities have been slow at adapting their educational offering. In fact, aspecialized data science training program is not even offered on most campuses, and when it is, the prerequisites of statistical and mathematical knowledge can be intimidating. All this results in an environment where companies struggle to find well-prepared candidates who have acquired the necessary expertise and are ready to start their data science career. This is how 365 Data Science started. We are a group of friends turned start-up enthusiasts. Our journey began in 2017 with the mission to create the world’s most accessible and intuitive data science training materials. | $100K | Pre-Seed | Apr 01, 2017 |  |
