The value of change is at the core of who DYDX Capital is.–> Anyone who has done calculus will understand the importance of derivatives and the formula f’(x) = ∂y/∂x or the rate of change given f(x) = y.
Venture Capital relies on massive rates of change – always striving for a bigger and bigger ∂y (or change in value created- DY) over a constant period of time (DX). To achieve a large DY, and create a game-changing product, often a complex optimization problem has to be solved.
Proprietary Data and its Analysis creates large commercial advantages that improve with time.
Data-driven product development allows rapid iteration (faster evolution, product optimization and value capture).
Cost continues to come down for data collection and analysis which unlocks new huge markets growing the TAM.
It’s all captured in the essence of positive value change – DYDX.
We believe that investing in the Data SuperCycle is key to value creation at scale. It’s our thesis and it’s permanently baked into our name.
