New Sponsors and Data Partners
Part 1 of our review of the first six months of 2024 covered the 19 startups we accepted for our Data Access Residency. And we hosted our 10th Demo Day in April, one of our two signature annual events. But we were also busy on other important fronts.
New Sponsors
We are very excited that two new sponsors joined the prestigious organizations contributing to our mission. Their generous support enables us to provide free access to data, services, a collaborative community, and a support system for early-stage fintech entrepreneurs. We are thrilled to have them working with us to further innovate in fintech. They are:
- Global Atlantic, a leading insurance company meeting the retirement and life insurance needs of individuals and institutions. The Global Atlantic Foundation, which showcases its commitment to serving the community, and is a core part of the company’s culture and identity, provided a generous grant.
- MCS Group, a relationship-focused consulting firm based in Boston. MCS specializes in working with fintech companies to create bespoke talent/hiring solutions for their IT teams, assisting companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500.
They joined existing sponsors Commonwealth, EY, F-Prime Capital, Fidelity Investments, Goodwin, MassMutual, Morrison Foerster, Rise, created by Barclays, and Slalom in helping startups and entrepreneurs build great products and companies.
New Data Partners
Thus far in 2024 we have welcomed three new data partners and expanded the datasets offered by a whopping seven of our long-time partners.
- Kaleidoscope provides API access to a wide range of pre-defined and searchable securities datasets that have been extracted and aggregated from registered US and Canadian filings, including public companies, investment companies, funds, investment advisors, and US insiders. Just a few years ago, Kaleidoscope was a startup in our Data Access Residency!
- ApeVue is a data services provider in the Private Equity / Venture Capital space. They provide the most actionable and timely market data and analytics on private company investments, including Pricing Data, Index and Benchmark Data, and Reference Datasets.
- ATTOM is a leading curator of land, property, and real estate data, and provides premium property data to power products that improve transparency, innovation, efficiency, and disruption in a data-driven economy. ATTOM multi-sources various datasets for more than 155 million U.S. residential and commercial properties covering 99 percent of the nation’s population.
Existing Data Partners Benzinga, Dow Jones, FactSet, Moody’s, Nasdaq Data Link, Plaid, and S&P also made additional datasets available to our Data Access Residents.
