Talks
📊💸 An Insider's View on How Data Is Changing The Venture Capital Industry — Jamie Bristow
Data is becoming increasingly important in Venture Capital. An industry that has historically been reliant upon personal networks and gut feel over data analytics is rapidly changing. This talk will give an insider's view on how funds are leveraging data (and implementing specific techniques in Python) to find, evaluate and support startups through their journey.
Jamie Bristow is the Principal at Frontline Ventures, one of Europe's leading early-stage funds that has invested in over 100+ startups over the last decade. Prior to moving into Venture Capital, Jamie was a data analytics consultant that worked to implement Data Science initiatives across a range of industries.
🛠️🌐 Building Web Apps in Python — François du Vignaud
Dive into the novel concept of building Single Page Applications (SPAs) using Python, tracing web technology evolution from early HTTP to WebSocket. This talk provides an overview of key technologies like HTML, JavaScript, and React, then focuses on Python-based SPA development, contrasting it with traditional JavaScript approaches. The session introduces Server-Driven UIs, illustrating Python's role in generating JS code with tools like Dash and emerging frameworks like JustPy. Concluding with a practical 'Hello World' example, the talk offers insights into the advantages and challenges of Python-centric SPA development.
