SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

A lot of our team is engineering at this point.

How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

Yeah, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's around a third.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

This is paid.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

So there's two sides of it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

It's not 1.6 million.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

What I said earlier is it's 2.1 million on the free side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And then we don't disclose how many are on the paid side.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

But we have two parts of the business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

We're a B corporation.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

One part is a free utility to leverage open data sets from all over the web.

and collaborate on those for free and contribute to the public body of knowledge about cancer and climate change and poverty and nutrition and all of these important things, that part of the business has trained the paid part, which is the data catalog business.

And the way you can think about it is that

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
How Investors Bought 50% of Data.World with 2.1m free users, accounts at 31k paid seats

The first part of the business is essentially like a free data catalog for open data.

And the second part of the business is a data catalog just for a company, just for their private data.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And that's where all of those integrations and everything else come into play.

Those are people contributing to the learning model.

Yeah, that's just dated because that's an old TechCrunch article.
