In this episode I speak to Vin Vacanti, Co-founder and CEO of Yipit Data, which is one of the largest providers in the alt data space.
In our conversation, Vin and I discuss Yipit’s fascinating evolution from Groupon deal aggregator to alt data unicorn, why consumer data led in alt data types, how he approaches pricing, and much else besides.
Meanwhile, if you have any feedback on the alternative data podcast I’d love to hear from you on LinkedIn.
