Chain Reaction

Inspiration

Local businesses form the backbone of communities, yet lack visibility and investment opportunities that could help them thrive in an interconnected economy.

What it does

Chain Reaction maps local businesses, analyzes their supply chains, and generates customized investment portfolios that support community economic growth.

How we built it

We developed a React frontend with interactive maps and visualizations, connected to a FastAPI backend that leverages AI for supply chain analysis and portfolio optimization and language models' logic in Gemini to create accurate yet nuanced conclusions.

Challenges we ran into

Optimizing investment algorithms for diverse business types presented significant hurdles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating an intuitive interface that transforms complex supply chain and investment data into accessible visualizations that anyone can understand and act upon.

What we learned

The power of combining geospatial data, financial analytics, and AI to create meaningful connections between community members and the local businesses they care about.
