Vela Partners and Oxford Researchers Launch PHBench to Predict Product Hunt Success

Summary

Vela Partners, a leading quantitative venture capital firm, launches PHBench on Product Hunt — a benchmark developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford that aims to predict which Product Hunt launches will go on to raise Series A funding. The project is led by Yagiz (Senior TPM at Amazon and independent researcher) and Yigit (co-founder and GP of Vela Partners), with researchers Ben Griffin and Rick Chen from Oxford. The launch playfully acknowledges the irony of releasing a Product Hunt benchmark on Product Hunt itself.
