Automated data ingestion doesn't come for free. It's an ongoing effort to keep on top of new sources and schema changes, and the amount of effort scales with the number of sources. I'd guess that's the value you were providing for them.

Oh sure, no doubt. It makes sense to spend $10 a month on something if it saves you 10 hours of time and you can potentially make $10 million from it. I was mostly just surprised at how quick the process was. Hedge funds are much more afraid of missing out on something than they are of paying a monthly fee to someone. That might sound a bit silly (what business isn't afraid of missing out on something?), but that's definitely NOT the case in many other enterprise sales discussions.

  Was that how much you were charging? One would naively assume that you could probably have charged a lot more given the amount at stake for the fund.

  I hope you were charging at least $499/month, if not go read everything patio11 has ever written on pricing.
