Assumptions
Target Market - ALL PROVIDERS (engaged data provider)
Active Data Provider: Data providers looking for value creation (revenue) from new or pre-existing data products. These providers have agreed to use the freemium solution in exchange for opportunities. Engaged data providers personas will span from exhaust data providers to some large data providers who are open to third party collaboration. Sweet spot is mid-sized data providers.
Active data providers will be predominately providing decision making data, not ad-tech and CRM data.
Small - Data Providers:
Profile
1-10 employees
<3mm ARR
Single data asset
Limited in-house capabilities
Revenue strapped, so value revenue above all else (will exchange short term cash for long term strategy)
Knoema Strategy
5 out of 10 small providers will fail or fade
Data assets typically are limited in business use cases
Knoema must work with small providers to find the 2 out of 10 winners.
Small providers cannot pay anything. They are revenue strapped. DO NOT BUILD BUSINESS AROUND THEM
Medium - Data Providers:
Profile
5-50 employees
3mm -30mm ARR
Have business model figured out
Single valuable data asset or multiple data assets
Understand productization and selling data
Have in-house capabilities, but lack resources to grow often
Looking for revenue, but also have a strategy
Knoema Strategy
Reduce friction and offer scale
Single data asset providers will require access control & monitoring
Multi data asset providers will look for scaling product information &
Find data value creation success stories in Medium data providers (evangelists)
Offer the scale they do not have with their internal teams.
Large - Data Providers:
Profile
50+ employees
50mm+ ARR (Typically multi-billion dollar businesses)
Maintain full control of their revenue/ sales initiatives
Looking for opportunities that “move the needle”
Worried about cannibalization of sales
Control / access control is very important.
Will not engage with something that looks like another platform.
Knoema Strategy
Use direct data buying and large intermediary opportunities to drive adoption.
Provide open source protocol in V2 for to meet large data provider requirements for control of branding.
Have monitoring and access control early in product life cycle.
