What we mean by data-centric
Data-centric ≠ uses data. Many companies use data. The ones we back are those whose unit-economics improve with data — companies where the dataset itself is the moat.
Cledara: SaaS procurement that becomes a procurement-data product. Brydg: bridge lending where the underwriting dataset compounds. Yummy: hyperlocal delivery where demand-data gets sharper per shopper. RELAYTO/: document engagement signals.
