About Flash

We're a team of mathematicians, data scientists, and investment professionals pioneering new approaches to venture capital through advanced mathematics, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence.

Our Story

FlashDNA began with a simple question: why do traditional venture capital firms rely on intuition and personal networks when evaluating startups, instead of applying rigorous mathematical models?

Founded in 2023 by a team of mathematicians and former VCs, FlashDNA emerged from research into the application of partial differential equations and chaos theory to startup growth dynamics. Our insight was that startups can be modeled as complex systems where a rigorous mathematical approach provides predictive power that traditional methods cannot match.

Our first model, using a Black-Scholes-style PDE approach to calculate startup meltdown probabilities, demonstrated 76% higher accuracy than traditional methods. This breakthrough led to rapid expansion of our research, incorporating fractal dimensions, chaos theory, agent-based modeling, and quantum-inspired probability calculations.

Today, our FlashDNA Infinity platform processes over 10,000 startup data points per evaluation, distilling complex mathematical insights into clear investment recommendations with unparalleled accuracy.

Mission & Values

Our Mission

To transform venture capital through mathematical rigor, removing bias and increasing success rates for worthy innovations that might otherwise be overlooked.

Mathematical Truth

We believe that complex systems can be understood through mathematical models, and that data-driven insights lead to better investment decisions than intuition alone.

Radical Transparency

Our models and methodologies are transparent to our clients, allowing them to understand not just what we recommend, but why we recommend it.
