I have made money directly from the data. My startup scratched its own itch, and one of the byproducts was a dataset that we sold directly to another company. The price was in the low 5 figures; we estimate that we have approximately 1k times as much as we sold (initial sale was for proof of concept).
There is huge value in data.
