Center of Excellence Discovery
Suggested by PA Patrick Astarita about 5 years ago
Center of Excellence Discovery – Often the best, most driven, energetic technical talent can be found working in the periphery of the limelight of well-established academics and founders. For deep tech start-ups especially; finding and recruiting early career talent before they hit the job market could mean the difference between success and failure. Desired is a 'Center of Excellence Reconnaissance' tool to enable venture builders to map the topology of a technical domain in order to discover burgeoning talent.

Love this idea. I built a tool at Booz Allen to help them identify pockets of engineering and science talent within the firm to help respond to / bid on RFPs / contracts. Always thought the use case was more generalizable to match talented individuals with large opportunities.

I think a solution might be building a 'radar' for talent— a skuemorphic tool for having potential candidates 'on the radar'
A beachead opportunity could be a dashboard-tool for technical recruiters

Interesting - I definitely have some personal experience on the data science side here. Specifically, working with academic teams interested in our dataset and, through that, working with PhD students that I made offers to when they were on the market.
Also feels a little related to something that @John Henry and I discussed this week.
