Navid Jafari, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at PeerNova, talks with Jeremy about using podcasting as a marketing channel.Highlights:What makes podcasting different from other content channelsHow to define podcast successWhat it takes to maintain a high quality podcastLearn more about PeerNovaConnect with Navid on LinkedInMemorable Quotes:"What's really, really cool about podcasting is that you very rarely put a podcast behind the gateway, right? And so the podcast is a fantastic opportunity for them to get to know you, for them to understand your points of view, for them to just casually hear you out.""I think podcasting is uniquely positioned to essentially be that sort of informal introduction about who the company is and what we're trying to accomplish.""I know sales people would probably say, no, you have to be more direct and assertive and all that stuff. A hundred percent agree. I think there is a time and a place for all that, but I think as marketers, people that live further up in the funnel, we just have to do a better job of being a guide as opposed to being sellers."The B2B Content Show is produced by Connversa, a podcast production agency helping B2B brands connecting with prospects, generates TONS of content, and grow revenue.

Is continuous data quality monitoring a myth? Not so fast. That is according to Ganesh Gangesan, Founder & CEO of PeerNova. Traditional data quality monitoring requires data to be in a repository and data quality platforms apply certain business rules to measure the data quality. And the exceptions are referred back to the data sources/owners to fix the exceptions. PeerNova's Cuneiform solution, with its origins in data security & networking, applies a no-code approach to solving the measurement and monitoring problem. Additionally, Gangesh talked to us about measuring the business impact of the exceptions that are identified. With a technologist background, Gangesh got an opportunity to switch to the business side when the company he was working for decided to spinoff a division. After a couple of iterations, Gangesh sold his previous company to Qualcomm. And the he embarked on the data quality journey with special focus on financial institutions.

In today’s episode, Sima is excited to welcome Gangesh Ganesan, the Founder and CEO of PeerNova, as her guest on the show. This podcast is typically about data and the data ecosystem. Today, however, Gangesh takes us into the area of the financial market. In this episode, he explains the importance of ensuring that data has good quality and is accurate. PeerNova PeerNova is a Silicon Valley-based data company founded by Gangesh Ganesan about five years ago. They have offices in Silicon Valley, San Jose, London, and New York. Although their themes mostly get distributed worldwide, the core is in Silicon Valley. Some of their development happens in Eastern Europe and they also have a theme in Brazil. A global company PeerNova is a global company. They are venture-funded and raised a substantial amount of capital to develop their software platform. Software platform The PeerNova software platform is called Cuneiform and offers data quality for financial institutions. Data quality Data quality means ensuring the correctness, completeness, consistency, and timeliness of data that might get distributed across different applications, databases, data stores, and data warehouses in a global financial institution. Making the correct decisions Currently, data quality is vital for making the correct decisions in the financial industry. It has been a big problem in that industry for the last two or three decades. Financial Institutions Financial institutions typically solved their data quality problem by employing many people to ensure that data was correct, complete, and consistent. In some cases, it could take tens of thousands of people to solve the problem for large financial institutions. The Cuneiform platform saves time and money The Cuneiform platform is about applying technology to automate as many of the workflows as possible. It can do that at a substantially lower cost, and more importantly, it does it near real-time. Inspiration Early on, Gangesh was inspired by some ideas that came about in blockchains. A crucial notion in blockchains is that of lineage, with which you can find the origin of any transaction. And you can track it either forward or backward to find the seed or genesis event. That idea inspired Gangesh to build a generic software platform with which every piece of data could get tracked in that way. Data quality They soon realized that maintaining the lineage and ‘audit trails’ of the data quality of financial institutions at scale and solving for correctness, completeness, and consistency problems was a vital challenge. It took them four or five years to build their Cuneiform platform. Financial institutions have been undergoing many changes Financial institutions have been undergoing many changes over the last twenty years. And their pain points have become very acute. The current focus The entire focus of Gangesh’s business is currently in capital markets and financial institutions. The Zero Code Using what is known as Zero Code, Gangesh has ensured business users, who are often tech-savvy but are not developers, can have the four attributes of data quality-correctness, consistency, completeness, and timeliness for all their data. Accuracy In the financial industry, they cannot afford to make any mistakes, so their data quality needs to be accurate one hundred percent of the time. Enterprise selling Enterprise selling of software at very high levels can be a problem, so Gangesh offers his clients the chance to do a free pilot to see if their model works for that specific use case. Reference-able clients are a big deal at PeerNova, so they also try to identify easy-to-replicate use cases to have a step-and-repeat concept that is easy to demonstrate. The problem of data quality The problem of data quality is something fundamental. The financial industry has always lacked a comprehensive end-to-end solution for that problem.

When it comes to raising money from the investor community, finance executives often find themselves standing in line for job assignments that promise to make them active participants in the process. Such roles allow aspiring finance leaders to check off one of the more essential items on the demanding list of prerequisites required of high-growth­–firm CFOs. For those executives who have climbed the accounting career ladder or toiled for years in an FP&A cubicle, the “money box” is often one of the last ones to get checked off. Such was the case for finance leader Chris Mausler, who after a decade of devouring high-calorie FP&A assignments at IBM Corp. exited the computer giant to join a string of Silicon Valley firms.  Removed from IBM’s sprawling organization, Mausler found himself in closer proximity to the action. Nevertheless, it would take years for the seasoned FP&A executive to land a role that allowed him to check that box and ultimately raise money for a variety of different firms. “Even though my assignments had touched on treasury-type operations in an indirect way, I myself had actually never directly raised money before,” says Mausler, who last fall helped to raise $31 million in funding for San Jose, California’s PeerNova, the data governance company that he joined as CFO back in 2014. “I’m certain that there are companies out there that make their first pitch and get funded with a term sheet, but this is not the norm,” says Mausler, who notes that most companies can expect to receive only a handful of term sheets from roughly 100 pitches.    “It's a little bit of an art, a little bit of a science for anyone going through it,” he adds. –Jack Sweeney      Mausler: As I’m sitting here at home under a shelter-in-place order, my first priority clearly is to manage our company over the next couple of months to make sure that we don’t lose any efficiency and effectiveness in meeting our short-term goals, and this is certainly a new challenge through these times. Other than that, the challenges that I have remain much the same at PeerNova. We raised a good financing last fall. We announced a $31 million round that’s going to take us for a while. We have goals and milestones for getting us through a large kind of growth round in the future. We’ve got to make sure that we get there, so it’s making sure that we’re hitting the near-term milestones and tweaking our strategy to hit the next ones. Here at PeerNova we had good data, so it was just a question of organizing it into one place so that we could manage the business. It’s been very much of a journey for us as we’ve raised rounds to build out this platform and worked with early customers on projects to grow our business. The most critical thing at PeerNova has been to raise the right amount of capital to help to get us to the next set of milestones and to make the right set of investments to get to these milestones so that we can continue to grow the company and keep this kind of growth pattern going. At this point, having worked with a number of large institutions, we’re in that growth phase of a company where we’re ramping up revenue. For me, it’s always been about trying to balance how quickly you grow the company to achieve the next milestone while keeping in mind how much cash you will need to manage the company until the next round. You’ve got to keep an eye on both. You want to build a company that’s growing extremely fast, but you have to reconcile this to some extent with how much capital you have. You also have to organize the milestones that you need to hit to get to the next round as well.

Bitcoin mining and the intricate game theory that surround it is a topic that we’ve visited many times. Difficult to grasp in its complexity, it is these dynamics that determine the security of Bitcoin in the short and in the longer term. This time we were joined by none other than Dave Hudson. He is the author of the leading mining blog hashingit.com, VP of Software at PeerNova and had a long career in chip manufacturing including at Qualcomm. We talked about dynamics in the mining market, security issues with Bitcoin’s design and his data-informed views on the blocksize debate. Topics covered in this episode: How he became interested in mining and what metrics he finds most interesting How miners would be affected by a blocksize increase The flaws in Satoshi’s design of the reward scheme Why transaction fees will not make up for the block reward decrease in 2016 and why that will lessen the security of Bitcoin The long-term role of Bitcoin as a settlement network The problem with accepting 0-conf transactions The future of mining and why 21 Inc’s plans seem nonsensical Episode links: Dave's Personal Blog Waiting for blocks The Myth of the Megabyte Bitcoin Block The Future of Transactions Fees Bitcoin SF Devs Seminar: A deep dive into understanding Bitcoin mining hashrates Dave's company PeerNova This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

Today’s panel discussion is called “The ever changing landscape of Bitcoin mining” where moderator Jez San is joined by some of the most prominent figures in the mining industry, Marc Aafjes of Bitfury, Dave Carlson of Megabigpower, Timo Hanke of Cointerra and Naveed Sherwani of Peernova. The discussion revolves around several key topics, notably, everyone seems to agree the industry should move away from the term mining and start calling it transaction processing. They also discuss the rapid evolution of ASIC processors in the last year, the importance of improving the overall power efficiency of the network and where ASIC production is heading. They also talk about a highly debated subject which is the shift from home mining to centralised data centers. The panels ends with predictions on the total hashing power of the network at the end of this year. This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.
