US — Findyr, a technology platform that allows people to request and receive “hyper-local micro data and content from regions around the world”, has announced its launch.
Findyr is a peer-to-peer labour marketplace (it compares itself to Uber and Airbnb) that enables data, information and content requests — sourced worldwide — to be fulfilled.
The platform acts as a type of offline search engine, allowing users to task other people that have downloaded the app to collect data, perform surveys and take custom photos and videos on demand, usually within 48 hours.
“A few well-placed, unique and new data points can sometimes tell you more than even the most heavy-duty big data sets,” said Anthony Vinci, Findyr’s CEO and founder. “Small data may be a single picture or video or a few key surveys or those other perfectly placed and chosen data points that provide immediate insight.”
Findyr beta launched last year and recently closed an additional round of funding, bringing its total to $2.5m to date.
