Hello Codeforces!

It’s been a while.

On Friday, December 4, 5–9 PM, nFactorial Ventures, the fund I started, is hosting its launch party at The House in San Francisco's Presidio. We invest in startups founded by former Olympiaders (ICPC/IOI/IMO/IPhO), and are bringing together 100+ Olympiad alumni, startup founders, AI researchers and investors.

An interesting stat: Deedy Das from Menlo Ventures analyzed around 18,000 IMO/IOI/IPhO medalists over the last 25 years and estimated that they are 4000x more likely to become unicorn founders than the average person.

Speakers:

• Bill Poucher – President of ICPC
• Alex Mashrabov – Founder & CEO of Higgsfield. 2x ACM ICPC World Finalist.
• Nick Davidov – DVC, seed investor in 7 unicorns
• Nikunj Kothari – Partner at FPV Ventures
• Peter Zakin – Partner at Upfront Ventures, Princeton ’12, YC S10

Besides keynotes, there will be "What? Where? When?" (intellectual team game aka ЧГК), a poker tournament, YPO-style forums in small groups, and, of course, great food and drinks.
