PATTERNS We analyzed data on data companies First trying (painfully) to define what a data company is
Then looking at our data, some patterns became obvious

DATA STARTUPS ARE ALL INVOLVED IN (AT LEAST) ONE OF THESE FUNCTIONS: Digital Layer
Physical Layer
Creative Mood / Shutterstock
- Non-trivial data collection (~ source aggregation, data transformation) - Interpretation (= extracting meaning from data) - Producing actionable data (~ inputs for a secondary system) - Data Storage - Data Processing (~ databases)
THE "DATA CHAIN"
Digital Layer Collection

THE "DATA CHAIN" In other words: Software data startups’ role is to collect and interpret huge amounts of information turning it into decisions and actions

Collection
Interpretation
Actionable data
Ballistocardiography (1) and machine learning enable Beddit to discover breathing, sleeping and heart beat rhythm patterns.
Beddit collects health data (heart rate, breathing, snoring movement) thanks to a very-thin film sensor placed under your bed sheet.
Users learn about their sleep quality (sleep cycles, efficiency, etc.) and how to improve their recovery. (1) A measure of ballistic forces on the heart
