Introducing Keel Cohort 2.0.
4 weeks ago, I graduated from @Harvard. Today, I’m excited to announce Keel Cohort 2.0 — the premier early-stage AI accelerator in NYC.
This summer, we’re backing 12 AI teams — 20 founders from 10 top schools. We’re running a 9-week program in our beautiful @Convene office in midtown, partnering with dozens of NYC AI leaders and throwing the best venture events in NYC — like our welcome week boat party.
We believe the accelerator market is broken. Top founders should not dilute 7-10% at pre-seed in a virtual/hybrid accelerator. And we believe NYC will be home to some of the most important companies in the age of AI — and it’ll need a program like Keel to make that happen.
Thank you to Convene, Citizens Bank, Gunderson, all our amazing LPs, our 20+ NYC-based mentors, @nathanleexyz, and especially our founders for making this happen. Keel and the NYC startup ecosystem are here to stay and win because of you🚀
Keel Cohort 2.0 is happening now. If you’re a founder in NYC, DM me!

Last semester, I worked with @ElliotKChin on a project applying counterfactual regret minimization to poker and testing the results against a genuine user pool. We created our solver and game entirely from scratch. Read and play against our bot here: github.com/nrlopez03/CS13…

Heading into week 2 @Wimbledon, we revisit @david_arkow article predicting how many career Slams @DjokerNole will end up with. Djokovic has won the first two this year, 23 all-time, and 7 Wimbledons. Who is your pick to win?

A great piece by @ElliotKChin on streakiness in the NBA!
Elliot Chin@ElliotKChin
Recently, in the wake of the Celtics' nailbiting 3-0 comeback attempt, I wrote a piece for @Harvard_Sports about what it means to be "streaky" in the NBA. I found that the Celtics were pretty streaky this season, so perhaps their ECF performance shouldn't come as a surprise.

@ElliotKChin Interesting! The same holds for NHL Playoffs as well, mostly for the same reasons but with the added factor of penalties being called at much lower rates in Game 7s.

celtics heat game 7 o/u is at 203.5. The combined score in EACH of the previous 6 games has been over that. But game 7s are slower and tougher.

I had a great time working on this with everyone! A deep insight into big deals in the modern NFL and the distribution of teams’ salary caps vs. performance
Harvard Undergraduate Sports Analysis Collective@HUSACOfficial
Do big deals really make NFL teams better? Even before Russel, the stats supporting superstar contracts rarely justify the costs. Check out our newest article, introducing a new statistic - NFL-HHI - that measures cap concentration in NFL teams. harvardsportsanalysis.org/2022/10/when-n…

An incredible experience working on this with @ElliotKChin! Sadly, I don’t think there’s a permutation with the @Giants on top!
