Thanks for sharing the CyberSyn story. I really admire the vision and the work you & the team put into building data products. The data space offers big opportunity, and I’m excited to see the next chapters for you and the CyberSyn team members.

Really appreciate you taking the time to outline your learnings and educate others. Look forward to the next adventure Alex! As always, I'm only a call away if there's anything I can do to help.

data is hard - https://pivotal.substack.com/p/economics-of-data-biz

TL;DR

- need to get 'minimum viable corpus’ airborne to add sufficient value downstream before runway runs out

- need your own unique super-value-add when aggregating data from upstream, else you are subject to extraction after you create value from their data

- investors don't always understand the snowball economics that are possible once you get there
