Bloomberg Terminal for everything
Isn't that Wolfram Alpha?
- AznHisoka 7y agoI interpreted this as building a terminal for each of all the various domains out there. Not just 1 Terminal with all the different data you need. That would close to impossible, and impractical to build. Rather, focus on a specific domain, like startup funding for instance, organize/collect data on that, and allow people to draw correlations and insights from that data. And to answer your question, does Wolfram Alpha tell me how much funding all food delivery startups had in 2019?
- OkGoDoIt 7y agoWould the ideal form of this look substantially different from crunchbase? I’ve never used a Bloomberg terminal myself, is this suggesting something about the user experience or just having all the data centralized in one place?
- AznHisoka 7y agoIt would not. startup funding was an example of a domain where there are products like crunch base that just collect, aggregate and centralize all that data. The user experience is the easy part
