This document describes a startup called V-See that was presented at the IBM Watson Hackathon in Israel on June 10-11, 2015. V-See was created by a team of 3 members to help connect startups more efficiently with investors using IBM Watson. It analyzes data from sources like Crunchbase to recommend investors and startups that match certain criteria in order to save time spent on meetings that are unlikely to result in investment. The team envisions expanding V-See using more data and machine learning capabilities to provide additional insights.
