15. WHY BIG DATA IN
BOSTON?
“…. It really feels like Kendall Square is becoming
the Haight-Ashbury of big data, and we
are psyched to be here.”
Fred Lalonde
Hopper
Founder, CEO
Looking at it deeper, there has been more than a dozen Boston based companies that received funding.
These fundings show an accelerated pace of interest in various areas of BigData
Whether it’s for healthcare, retail, education, there is big money flowing into BigData
As a matter fact, there are big names funding these big data companies – with hope of serious payback
$Serious Dough
But enough about big data, let’s focus on me!
(just in case you are wondering where this presentation is going, hang in there, I promise to bring it all back together)….
Speaking of schools, let’s get academic about big data….
At least for 15 seconds…!!
So, I actually wrote a thesis on this…
No, I am not going to go tell you about the whole thesis right here now
Let me give you the thesis of my thesis
So, this is yet another academic chart with lots of arrows and two axis
Do you know what the bottom line is?
Now, this took me over a year to fully understand and write about.
As a matter of fact, I am still learning about it….
BUT LET”S talk about it in 15 seconds…
WHERE IS THE BIG IDEA HERE?
NOW TIYING IT BACK TOGETHER, WHY BIG DATA IN BOSTON
