In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Ben Zweig, CEO of Revelio Labs, a workforce intelligence platform that's raised $19 Million in funding, about why relying solely on the data companies provide can leave investors in the dark about what’s really going on. With a powerful software solution to collate and make sense of alternative data sources from all across the universe of HR, Revelio Labs is promising to empower decision makers with the data they need to invest, monitor and manage key business decisions. We also speak about Ben’s background as a hedge fund data scientist and what he learned from the experience, how he identified HR data as an offering with real market potential, what alternative data spaces mean for the way we all access information, and how Revelio Labs was able to break through the noise and claim a slice of a not-so-crowded market. Topics Discussed: Ben’s career and the lessons he learned moving forward to bring to Revelio labs The central importance of HR data and corresponding analytics for a whole range of marketplace actors, not least investors What alternative data spaces mean for the way we access and understand data in the contemporary economy, and their potentially game-changing role Why credibility is key to building a successful business, and how Revelio Labs leveraged a whole range of stakeholders to make a name from themselves How Revelio Labs carved a niche for themselves in a relatively unheard of sector, and how Ben’s vision for the future looks set to scale dramatically   Favorite book:  Capital Ideas: The Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street
