Summary

  • A new startup called Carbon Arc has emerged from stealth mode, after raising $55m in a recent funding round.
  • Carbon Arc’s platform provides a marketplace for companies to buy and sell data, making it available on demand via a consumption-based pricing model that allows businesses to pay only for the insights they use.
  • Its standardisation of private datasets and availability on demand could prove to be a useful remedy to the current data market, which often sees companies paying for information they don’t need, and data being locked away rather than driving insights and innovation.
  • The platform’s easy-to-use interface features customisable filters, interactive data dashboards, and graph-based relationship mapping, and its flexible pricing models are aimed at freeing up companies’ data to improve decision-making.
