Starting in 2010 and for the following four years, CB Insights failed to get any sort of data network effect going. But then, things changed.
We have been in love with the idea of the data flywheel since we started CB Insights.
The data flywheel is the idea that more users get you more data which lets you build better algorithms and ultimately a better product to get more users. Rinse & repeat.
It is more commonly known as data network effects.
