Why Monetize Data

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing.

Give your company an additional competitive advantage over the competition.

Data sets you apart from the others. 

Generate new sources of revenue.

Data is another product you can package and sell.

Improve your operations.

Data can help you increase your efficiency and make your business run more effectively.

Create stronger ties to partners.

Providing data to partners can increase your strategic relationships.

In raising funding data gives your startup an additional advantage over other startups.

It increases your total available market size as it gives you more potential customers.

Investors find data highly attractive for the margins it brings.

Consider these points in pursuing data monetization for your startup.
