Ask HN: Uses for our data
Hello All,
We are a London UK start-up working in the local search space.
We have a platform to crawl the websites of ~1 million UK businesses and automatically extract structured/rich business data such as business descriptions, company logos, keywords/tags, brands, products, contact details (names, addresses, emails, phone, job titles) and opening times.
We have just finished our first project, licensing the technology to a large UK directory enquiries company and are now looking to make our next sale.
What applications or value might there be for this sort of data? Any thoughts much appreciated.
