# 📊 VC Deal Flow Signal — Interactive Explorer

[![Built with @gitdealflow/mcp-signal](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/badge/built-with/svg?variant=long)](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/built-with)

A Gradio dashboard built on the live public dataset [`the-data-nerd/vc-deal-flow-signal`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/the-data-nerd/vc-deal-flow-signal) — engineering-velocity signals across ~55 venture-backed startups in 20 sectors, four quarters of GitHub data.

> **Why this exists.** Sustained engineering acceleration on GitHub tends to lead fundraise announcements by 6–12 weeks. The dataset is the panel; this Space is the lens.

## What you can do here

| Tab | Use it for |
|---|---|
| **Overview** | KPI strip, signal-type composition by quarter, latest top-10 movers |
| **Sector heatmap** | Sector × Quarter average commit velocity — spot sector rotations |
| **Top movers** | Filter on quarter, sector, stage, signal type — rank by Δ commit velocity |
| **Startup drilldown** | Pick a startup, see its four-quarter trajectory and latest classification |
| **Methodology & cite** | Hypothesis, classifier rules, BibTeX, Zenodo / SSRN / Kaggle / MCP links |
