Ask HN: How do you start a data vendor/broker business?

[chirau]

I have a few niche markets where I think there is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to create Bloombergs, Capital IQs, FactSets or even CrunchBase or CB Insights like offerings.

I just have no idea what is involved in such a business. How do you approach data sources? What is your value prep to them? How do you price these things? Amongst many many other questions

Follow the intrinio guys, they are an interesting case study on how to set up such a business

I am a data source. Approach me with a price and list of what you want, then we talk.

Millisecond Precision BTC price? Yes I do!

Everything has a pricetag. Same for other data sources.
