In today’s episode of the podcast, we speak with Lauren Cascio, a Founding Partner of Gulp Data, a company helping startups use data to access capital without giving up equity. From the conversation you will learn where the concept of data backed lending comes from, and why it was previously so difficult to carry out.  Lauren kicks off the show by sharing a bit about her background, her role at Gulp Data and what the company does. We then talk about why now is the turning point for data backed lending, with a growing number of startups and businesses looking to extract value from their data.  Additionally, Lauren shares how founders, who are unsure of what their data is worth, can take steps towards identifying and securing value from their data. Lauren also talks about what sets Gulp Data apart from their competitors, and why Gulp Data doesn’t shy away from competition, but infact welcomes it. And finally, Lauren opens up about what is next on the horizon for Gulp Data.
