Financial Services Data Companies. Let’s Start One!

Perhaps you’ve heard: I’m co-conceptualizing and redesignengineering a new company called ‘KickCrowdBox’. It’ll be a sort of ‘Big Data FinTech Platform’ that offers every analytic tool investors could every want or need... plus it’ll have a dash of CRM, mobile payments and, while I’m at it, 3D printing (easy to do actually). It’s going to be huge. (Note: For any VCs who want to co-pathbreak and co-re-envision with me, I’m raising $25 million on an uncapped note,so please send all enquiries here.)

But I’m not writing this blog post to plug my new... and for the humorless among you, fake... company. Rather I want tohighlight a really great chartI recently came across by the good folks over atOliver Wyman. I love it.

In fact, all kidding aside, I think this graphicoffers a view into the future of financeand highlights where Silicon Valley can help (or even disrupt) the ‘mainstream finance’ world. As I see it, each one of the lines in this figure is a type of data that must be collected, vetted, cleansed, managed, packaged, analyzed and presented... no easy job for a lumbering financial services firm.

Enter KickCrowdBox ... (And if the graphic below is too small, clickhere.)
