Data Elite is Silicon Valley's first venture lab and early-stage fund focused on data sciences. Data Elite was founded by Tasso Argyros, founder of Aster Data which was sold to Teradata for $300M in 2011, as well as Stamos Venios, who has held M&A and investment positions with companies in Europe and Israel. Data Elite's three-month program provides top scientists and repeat entrepreneurs with the financial resources, customer network, and technical counsel to build and grow big data businesses. Data Elite will offer startups $50,000 for around 6 percent of the company, and a minimum of $100,000 as convertible note (but startups don't have to take this). Data Elite will take companies across all stages, but the founding teams need to have least five years of subject matter expertise around data, or proven success in a data-related field. The program lasts for three months, and the fund plans to back 5-10 companies.
