Zooming In On...

Gary Drenik, co-founder and CEO of Prosper Insights & Analytics

The third of our video podcasts on MrWeb / Daily Research News, recorded March 2021.

Prosper's consumer data comes from large samples, is scrupulously compiled and goes back... way back. Supplying a retail 'currency' for the National Retail Federation since 2003, and offering it for analysis through the Amazon Web Services cloud since 2009, the company has expanded into providing 'Alternative Data' for financial clients, and in 2019 launched customizable library 'The Model Factory', also on AWS. Not bad considering Gary originally told his partner 'We're going into the research business... I don't know anything about the research business, but this guy's going to teach us'.
