Hey... I run Bloomberg Beta. I think that creating a self-fulfilling prophecy is absolutely a dynamic here. Our goal wasn't to succeed at predicting so much as it is to get to know great people before they start companies.

We're using data as a tool to make things better, not for its predictive value in and of itself.
