Seems a bit dramatic. I predict there is huge market for some data, that may require a bit of time for social acceptance. How about an app that alerts you when you are in a high crime area? Near a convicted violent offender? Like the person that is tailgating you even though there is no traffic around? Heat maps for income, taxes paid, crime, almost any type of data that can be tranched, bought and sold. 15 years ago the government had difficulty locating illegal residents after they entered the country. Now a lot of these people stand out like a blinking red light unless they only use cash and don't have any paperwork like a registered vehicle. There are a lot of companies that are seeking to monetize data in various ways. There has also been a resurgence for DOD nav/targeting data that works in a GPS-denied environment, due to systems reliant on GPS has proven to be a failure in Ukraine. The legendary $100k Excalibur shells that have intense demonstration videos are disabled by a simple GPS jammer. Also keep in mind there is always a percentage of startups that exist only to be acquired by Microsoft/Oracle/Cisco and be shunted or thrown away/migrated to their products. The Bay Area in general is anemic in general for financing. It has not and likely will not recover from the pandemic anytime soon. There has been hemorrhaging of companies and jobs. Oakland has a $90 million+ deficit this year and will likely need to cut the only thing they can, police and fire department employees. BART rider trips are only 43% from what they were in 2019. Leadership failure 101. Oakland mayor recalled. Alameda DA recalled. San Francisco mayor voted out. People hate bipping.
