BattleFin

The company operates a B2B marketplace and services model around alternative data discovery and usage. It curates a catalogue of thousands of datasets in many categories and provides tooling to test, evaluate and operationalise them, alongside a visual data map and recommendation workflows. Following the acquisition of an AI-driven analytics platform, it also offers pre-computed consensus signals and financial intelligence for buy-side workflows.

Value is created for data buyers by reducing search, evaluation and integration costs for alternative datasets, and for data providers by aggregating demand, providing exposure and facilitating structured meetings with qualified prospects. Revenue is generated from freemium-to-paid marketplace participation, analytics and onboarding services, and a programme of in-person events that bundle meeting slots, speaking positions and sponsorship visibility. The company does not take a transactional revenue share on underlying data sales, keeping commercial relationships between buyers and providers separate from the platform infrastructure.

BattleFin is a United States-based alternative data marketplace and events company serving primarily institutional investors and data vendors. Its Ensemble platform connects buy-side data teams and corporate users with thousands of alternative datasets, supported by recommendation tools and, via the Exabel acquisition, buy-side analytics and financial intelligence capabilities.

The company generates revenue through paid marketplace memberships and services, event sponsorships and tickets, and professional services for data onboarding, analytics and go-to-market support. Its customers are asset managers, hedge funds, quantitative and fundamental investment teams, corporate strategy and data groups, and alternative data providers seeking distribution and lead generation.
