Developed during my internship at [**Vela Partners**](https://vela.partners/). <br>
The paper presenting Maverick can be found on my [GitHub](https://github.com/lukasec/Maverick). <br>
Maverick consists of two sub-models published here on Hugging Face : [MAV-Moneyball](https://huggingface.co/lukasec/Maverick-Moneyball) & [MAV-Midas](https://huggingface.co/lukasec/Maverick-Midas).

**Abstract** <br>
Maverick is a LLM to guide Venture Capital investment in startups. Its ultimate goal is to predict the success of early-stage ventures.

In VC there are two types of successful start-ups: those that replace existing incumbents (type 1), and those that create new markets (type 2). In order to predict the success of a start-up with respect to both types, Maverick consists of two models:
* [**MAV-Moneyball:**](https://huggingface.co/lukasec/Maverick-Moneyball) predicts success of early stage start-ups of type 1.
* [**MAV-Midas:**](https://huggingface.co/lukasec/Maverick-Midas)  predicts whether a start-up fits current investment trends made by the most successful brand and long-tail investors, thereby taking into account new emerging markets that do not necessarily already have established successful start-ups leading them - ie. start-ups of type 2.<br><br>

Maverick is developed through a transfer learning approach, by fine-tuning a pre-trained BERT model for type 1 and type 2 classification. Notably, both MAV-Moneyball and MAV-Midas achieve a true positive ratio greater than 70%, which in the context of VC investment is one of the most important evaluation criteria - the percentage of successful companies predicted to be successful.
