StarVest Portfolio Transforms Big Data Challenges Into Opportunities
Growth Companies Using Data to Consolidate Reporting, Provide Customer Usage Insight and Create Cost Efficiencies
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/18/12 -- We create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.5(18)) bytes of data every day, , with ninety percent of the data in the world created in the last two years alone. Corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data. According to , a New York City-based venture capital firm investing in technology-enabled business services companies throughout the United States, Big Data provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents.
StarVest identifies these opportunities as:
- Controlling who needs or has a right to know the data
- Who actually owns the data?
- Is the data accurate? If not, how do you make it so?
- What data is really worth knowing and how do you filter out the noise?
The firm has created a strong portfolio of companies that are seizing upon these trends. A sample of these companies includes:
allows companies to aggregate data to create analytical reporting to guide planning and execution and ensure the highest data integrity by incorporating analytics directly at the point of decision making.
consolidates financial data for a company across various entities and financial systems, allowing them to uncover the data that is most relevant.

"With the launch of the StarVest II fund more than three years ago, we voiced our belief that digital companies that could aggregate and analyze data and provide solid insights to customers were going to be the next wave of successful companies," said , general partner, StarVest Partners. "We were early to see the growing marketplace for companies that not only worked with Big Data, but understood the growing need to use technology to help solve the challenges executives working with Big Data are being faced with on a daily basis. We expect the popularity of these companies to grow as we move into the New Year, and look forward to finding new entrepreneurs with original ideas on how to take full advantage of the opportunities Big Data provides."
