Data is maturing at an incredible rate. In turn, the value of data is increasing as new strategies and productization continues to evolve. In episode 15, Eagle Alpha CEO Niall Hurley, discusses the changes and developments in the alternative data space.

Niall highlights emergence of corporates, often times b2b SASS companies, realizing new high margin revenue opportunities by monetizing their data by working with companies like Eagle Alpha to deliver unique insights to their clients. By allowing EA to take on the compliance and economic feasibility testing of bringing new data sets to market, Niall is at the tip of the spear for bringing new insights into the market place faster and helping make better capital allocation decisions.

Historically new data sets are brought to market by an entire entity whose business model is to resell data (Think 1010, Yodlee, etc, or to create new data sets as an aggregator, think Yipit, MScience, etc). It is rare for a corporate to sell direct in a b2c model. It's growing increasingly more challenging to figure out compliance, difficult to find distribution unions, and is not always a significant enough revenue opportunity to justify the resources required to execute.

However, Niall believe change is among us his company is positioned well to act as a market place for the high managing, orthogonal revenue opportunities for corporates to monetize their data.

Additional topics include:

The exploration of new data categories and the continued support for data delivery and go-to-market strategies.

Advancements made by quantitative and multi-strategy funds in utilizing alternative data, and the challenges faced by smaller funds in adopting these data sources

The need for a robust data infrastructure and platform to effectively integrate and analyze alternative data
