Bitvore nabs $4.5M to be your 'data mining for dummies' | VentureBeat | Deals | by Kia Kokalitcheva
Summary
Southern California tech investor Yuri Pikover led the round. Its data-mining system scours a wide variety of public and private sources including websites, blogs, email, and social media which can then be customized into recipes (data plus action) and even further fine-tuned at the dashboard level. “Rather, we wanted to build a tool with the smarts of a team of researchers that could delve deep into the web for specific information but be simple enough that even someone with no experience could make it productive within minutes,” he added. Bitvore used Fundable’s crownfuding service to raise money from accredited investors and other interested supporters. Bitvore is based in Irvine, California and already counts several investment houses and Wall Street firms as customers.
