This NYC Startup Uses Alternative Data to Predict Geopolitical Events

Data has been traditionally an accurate reflection of the past but no matter how much research you do to predict the future, political events, economic events, and natural disasters will likely disrupt your original predictions and have a large impact. In the volatile world we live in, you need a way to predict how these events will pan out and when they will happen. Predata is doing this work for you. Its platform monitors digital conversations across open source social and collaborative media, providing signals and alerts on upcoming geopolitical volatility and can be customized to specific needs and use cases.
