An exciting development in the alternative data world... We are looking forward to supporting both of our long term partners BattleFin and Exabel in this next chapter!
Today we are thrilled to share an important announcement that BattleFin has acquired Exabel, an alternative data analytics platform. Moving forward, together we will operate as a merged company. Additionally, we’ve raised $4 million in investment funding led by AWC and Jefferies, adding to our list of strong previous investors which include the London Stock Exchange Group. We will be using the new funding to power AI enhancements, platform innovation and worldwide expansion across financial service and corporate markets. The incredible power of the Exabel platform is the best kept secret in the alternative data industry. Exabel allows buy-side investors to derive 5x-10x more value out of the datasets they already own. If you're a fund looking to gain conviction in the positions you own or do deep investigative research on new ideas you need to trial the Exabel platform. It stands out as the best buy side platform on the market. What is Exabel? A powerful end-to-end solution specifically designed to deliver insights from alternative data. 📈 Models and dashboards developed by Exabel’s team of data scientists and mathematicians can be combined with its catalog of 60+ pre-mapped datasets to provide value down to ticker level out of the box. 💡 Further flexibility in allowing users to bring their own data and build upon existing models empowers users to create their own unique proprietary insights. Exabel is set apart by this dual ability to deliver immediate value while allowing more data-savvy users to truly dive deeper. 🥇 Exabel’s platform, data exploration, data mapping and artificial intelligence prowess are the most advanced in the alternative data industry, raising a new standard for data analytics and KPI prediction. 🚀 The technology was built by the brightest minds in mathematics, data science and engineering, including Math Olympians, Informatics Olympians, as well as former employees at leading financial institutions like Blackrock and Goldman Sachs and established data vendors like Yipit and Similarweb.

Fly Snap is a snapshot of the latest market dynamics within a particular category or industry. It represents a distilled aggregation of Flywheel’s eCommerce Insights data. As we enter Fall, 2Q earnings reports from department stores and discount chains highlights a growing trend of cautious shoppers seeking deals. Early adopters leaning into this trend, particularly off-price retailers, have gained an advantage, while mid-range players like Macy's and Kohl’s face mounting pressure. In this report, we take a snapshot of three key categories, with a focus on the mid-range players Macy’s and Kohl's, where shares are both down ~25% in the past three months, compared to off-price players like TGT/TJX up 9/18% and luxury JWN up 3%. #alternativedata #data #ecommerce #consumerdata #consumertrends #retailtrends
