I'm a tech entrepreneur building AI data companies. Occasionally, I write & speak about the intersection of data and AI – mostly on data monetization, data marketplaces, and AI data agents.
I've had the privilege to have met incredibly talented entrepreneurs. We're founding, building, and acquiring leading data companies that shape the AI data ecosystem.
The transparent AI data marketplace. Datarade was founded in 2018 by Thani Shamsi, Richard Hoffmann, and Florian Rösler.
