In this special series on data quality, you’ll hear different perspectives from other industries regarding market research and the analytics industry. Sima chats with Charlie Allieri, CEO of Imperium, and the sponsor of this series on data quality, and Matt Staudt, CEO of Venture Development Center. Bringing Traditional and Alternative Assets to the Marketplace Venture Development Center, started in 1996, is an organization that works in the big data market space, primarily with traditional data and alternative data.  They have assembled 190 relationships with organizations that have the traditional and alternative assets and Venture DC looks to bring these assets to the marketplace that they’ve created where buyers of data can be traditional players themselves.  They can be brands or professional service organizations, and Venture DC assists with helping them to understand these assets and how they might be used in particular use cases, thereby creating licensing events and making these matches. Traditional and Alternative Data as Transformational From the perspective of Venture DC, traditional data is the kind that has been around for 30 years. In other words, demographic dataset, which typically consists of a mailing address, business name, business sector, contact name, and email address. Matt defines alternative data as the behavioral activities, such as signal data, geolocation, search, transactional, and crowdsource.  The amount of data Venture DC represents in the marketplace is tremendous. They have access to transactional data files that cover the spectrum of all types of activities, and are terabytes in size. The traditional models can be incredibly enhanced by looking at the alternative behavioral activities.  Looking at models isn’t a question of accuracy but the timeliness of it. The behavioral and signal aspects is immediate and when you have access to it you can react quickly. There are privacy compliance concerns when you start using it but using it properly can be transformative. Representative Criteria and Measuring Quality In order for Venture DC to represent an organization, there are 3 factors at play: (1) Compliance. The organization needs to be in a position where the data they’re getting is being collected in a compliant fashion. (2) Historical data. Is it represented there? People may have great data that they’re collecting but if they don’t have some sort of history associated with it, then it’s hard to test. (3) The future. Are they going to be able to collect this data for the foreseeable future? They don’t want to represent any file where a potential buying entity within their portfolio utilizes the data and then all of a sudden, it’s no longer available.  One of the biggest challenges is pricing, which depends on unique data points of value and what kind of use-cases it can be used in. How unique is it? Are there data points of value within the dataset that are compelling, and if they are, how unique are they? How do they measure up against other things that are represented in the marketplace?  The Impact of Privacy Issues Matt discusses how many companies have ignored privacy issues, the ensuing lawsuits, CCPA, and more. Sima suggests that there’s a positive side to this, however, in that it makes everybody rise and clears the bad actors out of the system. There needs to be a country-wide level of legislation because complying with all the nuances that exist state to state poses a challenge. _______________________________ Sima loves to hear from her listeners with input, questions, suggestions and just to connect!

In this episode I talk to Eli Velasquez about creating startup ecosystems, commercializing research, especially when it's not necessarily venture-backable, and how the US government thinks about startups. Eli is the head of Venture Development at VentureWell - a non profit organization that funds and trains faculty and student innovators to create businesses. VentureWell helps run I-corps, which talked to Errol Arkilic about in Episode 15. Currently, Eli runs all over the world helping create fertile ground of startup ecosystems and in the past he's worked with intellectual property both in industry at Boeing and Academia at Texas Tech. Basically he's working on meta-meta innovation: creating new ways to make places where it's easier for people to create new things. Major Takeaways Too much government aid can turn companies into zombies because their customer becomes the grant-giver instead of money-paying customers. At the end of the day ecosystems happen because people's mindsets change On average bringing a technology to market on average takes more than five years.   Resources Venturewell

Sales in the b2b sector have undergone significant changes in the last three to five years. On the one hand, new channels such as Linkedin have proven to be valuable for digital lead generation. On the other, the availability of information online has significantly affected the buying behavior of customers - people don't want to be approached proactively. This means that a switch in the acquisition process between the digital self-service channels and one-to-one personal conversation with your customer is not only challenging but also necessary. Listen to Christoph Rösler, Director of Venture Development & Sales at Project A, and Florian Heinemann, General Partner at Project A, dive deep into the merging of marketing and sales in the customer journey and whether traditional sales still have a role in the modern b2b sector.

Heute darf ich zwei ganz besondere Gäste begrüßen, die genau wissen wie Startup-Finanzierung funktioniert, was die wichtigsten Kriterien sind, um Kapital zu bekommen und was darüber hinaus noch zu beachten ist. Boris Hardi und Philipp Berger haben zusammen Capmatcher (https://capmatcher.com) gegründet und geben uns heute einen guten Einblick hinter die Kulissen. Aufgrund der Länge des Interviews haben wir das Gespräch auf zwei Podcastfolgen aufgeteilt. Boris blickt auf über 20 Jahre Erfahrung im Private Equity-, Real Estate-, Banken- und Börsenumfeld. Außerdem war er die letzten Jahre Business Angel und hat aktiv in Startups investiert. Seine Erfahrungen und Probleme, die er dabei als Investor hatte, ließ er in Capmatcher einfließen.  Philipp ist gelernter Bankkaufmann, studierte BWL mit Fokus auf Corporate Finance, Venture Capital und Innovation in München und Helsinki. Er ist bei Capmatcher für das Venture Development verantwortlich und kümmert sich um alle Themen, die darauf abzielen die Reichweite der Firma voranzutreiben bzw. Startups zu erreichen.  Mit Capmatcher erklären sie zusammen den Startups wie ein Investor tickt, welche Informationen relevant sind für eine Bewerbung und wie der Investorenmarkt funktioniert. Sie erläutern in unserem Gespräch ganz ausführlich, wie das in verschiedenen Stadien mit der Bewertung abläuft, welche Kapitalspannen es üblicherweise gibt und welche verschiedenen Investorenklassen es gibt bzw. wer investieren kann. Außerdem erfährst du in diesem Interview, wie das jeweilige strategische Kalkül des Investors aussehen kann und welche neuen Tendenzen sich abzeichnen. Brauchst du einen Partner, der dich finanziell unterstützt, weißt aber nicht, wo du anfangen sollst? Capmatcher hilft dir bei der Orientierung und zeigt dir die nächsten sinnvollen Schritte. Ein guter Zeitpunkt, sich dort anzumelden ist, wenn du dein Produkt definiert bzw. deine Idee schon etwas ausgearbeitet hast.
