Our proprietary tech platform can value a company's data assets in real-time and we can provide a loan against that value secured solely by the data. This is very attractive, non-dilutive and borrower friendly capital. Data is considered an intangible asset under GAAP accounting standards BUT we all know that a company’s data has real value to the business and if it has value to their business than it likely has value in the overall market. In fact, most companies don't know the value of their data which may be their biggest asset. Gulp was founded by data valuation experts, they know how to value and monetize data sets of all kinds. Examples of exceptional data collateral: • "Deep datasets" which contain many attributes or fields per record • Datasets for financial service or insurance companies • Datasets with a steady flow of user or data interactions • E-commerce or other large consumer datasets • Datasets that are unique within specific geographies or industries • Datasets from deep-tech companies like space, biotech, analytics, AI, or research companies Show less
