Insights from this Episode
- What we’ve seen over last few years is the
emergence of a lot of really interesting data sets that just didn't
exist a few years ago or weren't packaged in a way that was usable…
Firms are more and more looking to combine those datasets to have
something that's a lot more meaningful for whatever end use cases
they have today – L.D.
- In order to cater to the real estate vertical, the data
needs to be as you started with, it needs to be clean, it needs to
be easily accessible - Thomas
- Data is being put front and centre where it should be. It
means that people are able to make a lot more informed decisions –
L.D.
- In a case like COVID, where the mobility patterns of people
that changed overnight, it has an extremely powerful data set to
help them understand what's happening in their neighbourhood, in
their city, and help them make better decisions – Thomas
- Our focus is on understanding how people move around on the
planet, mobility data, that's where we are experts - Thomas
