  • The Live@Neudata Episode
    Dec 11 2024

    This is the first ever live recorded episode, which took place at Neudata’s Winter Summit in New York on December 5th.

    For the panel, I was fortunate to share the stage with Matei Zatreanu of System 2, Tjeerd van Cappelle of aiLiftoff, Alexander Izydorczyk of CyberSyn and Kelly Kosciuszka of Schulte, Roth & Zabel, as we embarked on an attempt to predict the Future of Alternative Data in five years time.

    In our conversation we covered topics like innovation in datasets, the impact of LLMs, the new US administration’s regulatory plans, consolidation in the space, the structure of hedge funds, and more.
