Unicorns, Syndicates and the tools to track them

So, <i>where</i> exactly is the data coming from?<p>I realize that&#x27;s likely a trade secret, but there&#x27;s a difference between having data and <i>good</i> data, and &quot;analysts working around the clock validating [the data]&quot; doesn&#x27;t help when the data is flat-out <i>missing</i>.

This (indicate.io) And Mattermark seem to be doing similar things - compiling (sometimes superficial) data on startups in order to score them and sell that data to investors, press, or competitors.<p>If this becomes widespread, it&#x27;ll be interesting to see the impact, both in what types of startups have a biased advantage and what &quot;gaming the system&quot; will look like.
