Modern Data Stack Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The modern data stack is the term for the tools used by tech companies to analyze and integrate data. It’s cloud-based which alleviates many of the challenges in analyzing data with legacy systems. Here are the components of the modern data stack: Data sources -- this includes databases, company products that produce a stream of data, and event streams which log each action a user takes. Data warehouse -- these are the tools used to store the voluminous amounts of data that come from data analysis work. This includes data lakes and other large-scale formats for storing the data. Data analytics -- this includes the ability to query into the data sets and apply analytics to the data. Data transformation -- this moves the data into a format that end users can use for their own queries and analysis. Data monitoring -- this captures metrics about the data such as how often the data is being used and for what applications. Data governance -- this monitors the use of the data to comply with government regulations. Data applications -- the set of applications which use the data output from the system for applications such as business intelligence. In setting up a data analytics program at your company consider the modern data stack and its components.

In this episode of Investor Connect, Hall T. Martin engages with Marie Wise, Chief Innovation and Partner of WiGL, to explore the company's journey in wireless power and their shift towards saltwater-generated power batteries. Marie discusses the challenges faced in raising over $11 million in four years without launching a product and shares insights into redirecting the company's focus towards consumer markets like camping and disaster relief. Marie highlights the obstacles encountered due to divergent opinions within the team, where ex-military members prioritize Department of Defense contracts over venture capital funding. This misalignment hindered product development and market entry. The discussion underscores the importance of focusing on consumer markets and engaging anchor clients to drive product development. The conversation underscores Investor Connect's role in assisting startups like WiGL in refining market strategies, identifying anchor clients, and preparing for investor engagement. Hall outlines Investor Connect's approach to fundraising campaigns and the importance of aligning valuation with market realities, ultimately aiming to facilitate tangible progress and product launches within defined timelines.
