Ex-UBS Asset Management CDO takes aim at challenge of data discovery
Suvrat Bansal’s startup aims to make it easier to get data into the hands of those who need it, but who may not know it exists, faster.
There’s a knowledge gap at financial firms. A firm may have all the data in the world, but its employees often don’t know they have it. And even if they know about it, getting access to it may be hampered by lengthy approval processes that delay access to data. In many cases, this data already exists within their organizations, and is already being paid for, but users seek fresh datasets because they don’t know the data already exists.
In short, firms don’t know what they know.
