Many companies are sitting on data assets that could be revenue streams for them, without knowing it. Matt Staudt of VDC discusses making latent data profitable. Ginette: I'm Ginette, Curtis: and I'm Curtis, Ginette: and you are listening to Data Crunch, Curtis: a podcast about how applied data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are changing the world. Ginette: Data Crunch is produced by the Data Crunch Corporation, an analytics, training, and consulting company. Ginette: Today, we chat with the president and CEO at the Venture Development Center, Matt Staudt. Matt Staudt: The company that I'm with is VDC, Venture Development Center. Basically VDC is an organization that works in the alternative big data, bringing buyer and seller together. So we have a unique perspective on available data assets that are out in the marketplace and a unique perspective of the companies that utilize them, and what they're specifically looking for in the way of points of, uh, value for various data assets. My background was originally in the marketing and advertising area, where I owned a company for 20 years, IMG, Interactive Marketing Group. I left that in 2007 and joined this, which was more or less of a lifestyle organization. And we made it a full-fledged organization company back in 2010.Curtis: Now, when you say data assets, can you put a little bit of definition around that for the listeners? Just so they understand how you define a data asset? 'Cause I imagine there may be some things that you think are valuable that maybe they haven't thought of, or maybe it'll help expand our thinking around what a data asset is.Matt: Yeah, sure. In my, in my terminology "data asset" basically falls into eight different categories, where assets basically come from within the information world. So they could be things like transaction data or crowdsource data. They could be things like search data or social data sets. They fall into various categories, traditional data, meaning assets that are business to business or business to consumer generally aggregated by large companies that most everybody's heard of Dun & Bradstreet, Infogroup, Axcium, the credit bureaus, et cetera. Alternative data in our world are companies that have unique data points, unique. They're collecting unique pieces of information, usually as a byproduct of their core business. And we look at the assets that the data sets, the actual data points that they collect. And we figure out if there might be something of value to take to the marketplace, usually to the large consumers of the data, the big aggregators that I previously mentioned, but oftentimes it also fits well with some of our mid-tier players. And we have a significant amount of relationships in the brand grouping, meaning large organizations that they themselves are looking to try and take advantage of big data and utilize data in sales, marketing operations, in order to transform or help to administer certain activities that they have going on.Curtis: Do you find that this is maybe industry specific, like for example, a big insurance company, or if you're in healthcare or something like this, it tends to be more data intensive that you see more activity there or, or is this really applicable across the board? What kind of industries do you find have a lot of applications?Matt: Yeah. Well, it's interesting on the surface, you certainly think that there's probably industries that would have a larger appetite and a larger need for data than, than other organizations, but going, you know, through the list of companies that we've helped over the last 15 or 20 years, it really runs the gamut. I mean, we've worked with insurances, you mentioned insurance, insurance companies. I mentioned credit bureaus. We work with credit bureaus, risk and fraud, sales and marketing, sometimes large brands within those retail environments. So it really truly has run the gamut for us. There's,

Geoff Michener, dataPlor: Closing the Latin American Data Gap with Human Verified SME Data, Ep 105 Growing up in Denver, Colorado, Geoff Michener was interested in international trade and economics. During his undergrad, he got the opportunity to study abroad in Nicaragua and learn about foreign investment. There, he quickly fell in love with Latin America and promised himself that he would come back and do business in the future.   Geoff kept his promise and is now CEO and founder of dataPlor, a Magma portfolio company that provides quality data on small businesses in Latin America. He noticed that there was a huge information gap in the region where up to 75% of SMEs have no online presence. DataPlor’s team of “explorers’ capture and validate data to build a database which provides enterprises with accurate information on small businesses.   In this episode, I sit down with Geoff to talk about the value dataPlor brings to large enterprises as well as the challenges of collecting data in Latin America compared to the US. We also discuss some of the lessons he’s learned from shutting down his first startup, and also some of his reflections on the future of data. Escaping academia and becoming an entrepreneur   Following his passion, Geoff studied international trade and economics. During his years at university, he landed top-notch internships at the White House, the Pentagon, and a think tank. However, he eventually became frustrated with the sea of red tape he experienced in the field and questioned whether it was the right path for him. At that moment, a friend offered him the chance to work at a startup, and his curiosity got the better of him.   Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders, to hear about Geoff’s experience working at what is today known as Living Social. Shutting down a startup Geoff’s first startup went through what many business owners have unfortunately had to do: dissolve a company. However, he looks back on this moment as a huge learning opportunity. The relationships he built throughout the startup’s lifecycle ended up giving him the direction he needed. When a previous customer suggested he look into Latin America’s data for small businesses, he jumped at the opportunity and began investigating Mexico.    Learn more about the lessons Geoff learned from shutting down his company on this episode of Crossing Borders. “In Mexico, less than 5% of small businesses have a website” Access to online data is a lot more widespread in the US, where about 90% of businesses have some digital footprint. However, in Latin America, a lot of small businesses are offline and therefore have no digital footprint. That can be a problem and a deterrent for big enterprises in the US looking to study the Latin American market for growth opportunities.   Check out this episode of Crossing Borders to find out how dataPlor is solving Latin America’s data problem.   Geoff Michener is helping reduce misinformation on SMEs in Latin America by capturing highly accurate data that will help bring new opportunities to the region.   Outline of this episode: [1:09] - About dataPlor [3:17] - A typical dataPlor client [4:30] - About Geoff [5:41] - Becoming an entrepreneur [7:23] - Deciding on dataPlor [11:53] - On winding up a company [15:22] - Lessons from the old business model  [17:34] - Challenges of gathering data in Latam [21:24] - The future of data [24:17] - Books blogs podcast [26:39] - On dataPlor’s newsletter [28:47] - Advice to Geoff’s younger self   Resources & people mentioned: Geoff Michener dataPlor dataPlor newsletter Magma Partners Cato Institute Living Social INEGI Data companies: LiveRamp, Factual, Foursquare, Infogroup, Dun & Bradstreet Blog: Andreessen Horowitz  Books: The Hard Things About Hard Things, Never Split the Difference  Podcasts: This Week in Startups, a16z
