In the fast paced world we live in, it can be easy to forget how long it takes for a sport to grow and develop.

Machine Learning (ML) in its literal terms implies, writing algorithms to help Machines learn better than human. ML is an aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that deals with the development of a mathematical model which is fed with training data to identify patterns in that data and produce an output.

I’ve been asked this a lot lately: How does a <a href="http://deepspacevc.com/" target="_blank">small Dallas seed fund</a> find its way to LA so often? What is so attractive about the startups we are finding in LA? Is the LA ecosystem the blueprint for the other aspiring <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/startup" target="_blank">startup</a> communities out there?

6 Reasons Why I'm "Long" the LA Startup Ecosystem

I make it out to Los Angeles more and more these days as our portfolio seems to be growing the most there. This is due to a couple of factors including our focus on <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/esports" target="_blank">esports</a>.

Game Night — Quality Time With Our Founders and Their Team

I am standing inside the exhibitor room of (what claims to be) Eastern Europe’s largest startup event, <a href="https://itarena.ua/" target="_blank">IT Arena</a> in Lviv, Ukraine. All around me are booths of companies looking for developers to join them, many servicing overseas clients. Upstairs are a handful of scrappy local entrepreneurs explaining their ideas, generally, they are well executed, but early stage. IT Arena has great talks happening around us, attracting speakers from all over the globe with an impressive selection of technical, product and business topics. Despite this, a recurring thread running through the talks and conversations I had with attendees was that Ukraine wasn’t terribly good (yet) at the startup game. As a fan of highlighting newer startup and tech scenes (I will stick to ‘startup’ for the rest of this article), I wanted to know and understand why?

Ukraine, on the edge of something and somewhere

As I’ve written about before in <a href="https://hackernoon.com/the-birth-of-a-venture-capital-investment-thesis-afd2903ae12" target="_blank">The Birth of a Venture Capital Investment Thesis</a> and <a href="https://hackernoon.com/why-invest-in-esports-deab33a4835b" target="_blank">Why Invest in esports</a>, the esports market is huge, has intense user engagement and is growing at an astronomical rate. There is great potential for incredible founders, with excellent ideas,to build businesses that generate out sized returns for early stage investors in the space.

Who is Investing in esports Startups?

As a new VC, I often ponder the investment theses that drive other, more established investors. I look at their clear focus, specific direction, and well-articulated investment goals with a bit of envy. I’m not sure how other investors were able to develop their strategies. However, I wanted to share my thoughts on why<a href="http://deepspacevc.com/" target="_blank"> Deep Space Ventures</a> has thus far primarily focused where we have. We are a seed and series-A investor and we started out with a B2B focus (which we still have) and we have recently started building a portfolio, and a thesis around the Esports space as well. If you’re a founder in one of these spaces with a seed stage business, then we want to meet you.
