Annual expenditure on data sets amongst US asset managers has grown to over $1 Billion since the turn of the decade, and is only increasing. Alternative data providers like YipitData are providing answers to such investors.

By focusing on disruptive, digital-first sectors, the company provides maximum value to their clients. This is because, in recent times, many of the highest-growth opportunities have been the hardest to price. By supporting this pricing, YipitData is a stand-out.

Thus, the company has emerged as a leading provider of highly accurate and detailed research and analytics in the rapidly evolving landscape of disruptive and digitally enabled sectors. With an impressive client base in the hundreds and significant funding behind it, YipitData is poised to expand innovation and venture into new markets.
