State of the Market - Pricing Survey

My friends at BattleFin kicked off their annual comprehensive product pricing survey for the alternative data community. This industry wide survey will illuminate the experiences and motives of both data buyers and providers. We need your help gathering data.

Those who submit will receive a copy of the total results. There will be a preliminary release at the BattleFin Corporate event (read on below for some extra details) on November 2nd so firms can take into account trends for 2024 budget planning and then a final version released at BattleFin Miami on January 24th. All responses recorded in the survey will be confidential.

• Gain early access to the published report (January 2024)
