Your point is valid though about there being silos of industries that don't have a lot of data, or the data not being accessible.
I think a great example of this is in Agricultural Tech. There is just incredible amounts of data that is totally siloed and fractured. But if you pay attention Google Ventures is right there, ready to fund or acquire whatever is happening in the space.
