Hg Partner, Tara Anand Carter, appears on the Innovators' Exchange Podcast and discusses the evolving investor interest in data, emphasizing the importance of strong intellectual property and recurring revenue.

“I am grateful that Hiten included me in his podcast series, in a conversation about my favourite part of the technology ecosystem - one that I have been focused on for many years now – the power of data.

In the evolving landscape of technology investments, B2B Data & Analytics continues to be a compelling category, offering unique opportunities for growth and innovation. The leaders in this category use their ‘backbone’ of proprietary data, taxonomy and methodology, to provide unparalleled insights for market participants in specific verticals and/or for specific use cases.

As businesses across industries strive to harness the power of (vast quantities of) data, the best-in-class data & analytics companies stand out for their ability to deliver robust, timely and actionable insights that can significantly enhance high-value decision making across trading, investments, capital deployment, operations, strategic planning, risk and/or compliance.

It has been a real privilege to join Hg to continue our focus on investing in this area, building on our prior experiences with Argus, FE fundinfo and Cube.”
