Venture Capitalists love a monopoly. They look for data moats around your product. What is it that you do that would be hard to duplicate?

Companies have been doing this forever in the weather space: custom sensors, custom data processing, difficult algorithms, and now Machine Learning. There are lots and lots of moats.

Many talented, interesting little companies are building moats around their data sets—it feels like even more than in the past. What does a world with so many little moats look like? With access priced high and their data held dear?

Each company needs to get that data out in front of their customers. They need to mix it with standard data sets, too. If you’ve got a brilliant wind sheer detection algorithm, your customers also need to see radar and lightning to go with it.

This is where those brilliant little data companies fall. No one does a perfect job of data display. At best, they do an adequate job, but ‘adequate’ masks the brilliance of their work.
