Majority are PhD, but definitely some have Bachelors/masters. Care more about quality of education/skills. 4.0 undergrad at MIT vs PhD at rando state U w unknown advisor... no question.

Yes, if you want me to buy your data, give me all history up to last year. Then I'll decide.

I give no shits what you're wearing in that meeting. I just want to learn about your data and get a copy to examine.

The point is if you're Amazon or Indeed or Yelp (or trying to compete) you can sell the data.

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I'm a quant at a quant hedge fund. I can confirm I want your data. The longer the history, the more I want it. Don't fuck with it much, give me clean but raw info. I don't want PII, but I'll take aggregate and anonymized. Just whatever you do, start collecting it NOW so in 3 years you have 3 years of history to sell me.
