Sorry to disappoint but unlikely. This type of product is generally meant for very large enterprises, so this is already an entry-level product at best. We do make a lot of related economic data available for free though that is published b

That's true but you would sort of expect those datasets to be the most popular just given the addressable market for those is by far the biggest (essentially every enterprise probably requires some degree of weather, Covid, and economi

- IRI sells syndicate (aggregate) data on CPG sales -- individual brands in the store -- not at the merchant level (ie. Chipotle) - Kroger/Walmart sell more detailed versions of that, but for their own stores AFAIK - I am not familiar

The assumption - and maybe it didn't work - was that folks would just try the data (it is free to try). I do think one great thing about the Snowflake Marketplace is how the trials work -- you get a lot of flexibility. Of course, you n

We're building our entire company almost exclusively on the Snowflake stack. The fact that that is possible, definitely shows you how Snowflake has evolved from just a "warehouse" to a Data Platform (or Data Cloud to use thei

Most of the large data providers (S&P, Factset, Nielsen, ZoomInfo) have started to do so. I would say that they have partial solutions -- they do not list their entire catalog of assets on the platform. Cybersyn is obviously a startup e

In general, we're sourcing from a variety of 1st party sources. But yes, the long term vision is to make this all joinable ( https://magis.substack.com/p/datanomics )

I am a big admirer of what Second Measure built before their acquisition. - Different data sources - More accurate (though this is of course debateable, our plan is to publish benchmarks, accuracy, transparency, etc.) but this will always b

It is aggregated data. You are correct that if someone were selling data on individual cards, it would be a lot more expensive.

Yeah interestingly, Venmo makes (or at least used to make) every public transaction available in their API

This is correct. Note you are not getting just the dashboard, but you are getting the underlying data itself too -- so you can write arbitrary queries. That said, it is meant for large enterprises that have a clear path to ROI.

I definitely agree Snowflake Marketplace should have this.. there is no technical limitation.

I wasn't quite clear - we don't have access to identifying information in the data (ie. we could measure Venmo but not that John Doe paid $X to Jane Doe at phone number XXX-XXXX)

Yeah that's fair. The tables are all in an EAV format (narrow), so the number of columns coming along here is very small (you would filter for Chipotle/McDonalds in your WHERE) but it is fair that that sample query could be more i

We're doing almost everything entirely in Snowflake. Snowflake is our lead investor ( https://www.reuters.com/technology/data-startup-cybersyn-rai... ) and we've found it extremely helpful to build entirely on

Hey founder here - It would be indeed great if Snowflake allowed us to preview the data. That said, if you have a Snowflake account, you can mount it and automatically get a trial (you can run arbitrary queries against it). The data is aggr

Hey there - founder here. We can indeed break down by payments in these FinTech apps. There are privacy concerns with certain aspects of this, which we of course could not touch. However, measuring the "shadow" economy, of course,
