I have a platform with a cool free feature that helps companies (or people) get the dataset they need, we’re talking about commercial/valuable datasets here - so you don’t have to spend weeks or months searching. I know there are tons of startups out there that need datasets (i.e for AI/ML model etc…), but there isn’t really a place where you can find them since they don’t really post their data request online. Here are a few things I’ve done:
- Reach out to data related communities on Reddit (and LinkedIn w/ less success)

- Cold emailing startups with our value proposition

- Go to networking events to explain our value proposition

These options do work sometimes but are hard to scale. I’m iterating on how I deliver our message to increase response rate but I’m wondering if there are any other channels or ideas out there that I haven’t explored.

    I’ve sent examples of sets I thought would be useful to companies by cold email. Some success but not much. More amazed in hindsight how many people opened the attachments from an external sender.

      Hmmm might try that, include some images or something dynamic to increase open-rate - that’s a good idea
