According to a 2016 survey in Forbes, data scientists spend most of their time cleaning data (60%) in addition to 19% collecting data.

Has this changed in the last 7 years?

Do you know of any updated survey?

Data science has a tool obsession and is susceptible to the Gear Acquisition Syndrome - just like any hobby. And that is a good thing - as long as we also move beyond it and start obsessing over the process too.

Realising that most users do not have huge data sets (see e.g. the new blog post Big Data is Dead https://motherduck.com/blog/big-data-is-dead/) and adjusting our #flowcore pitch deck and value propositions accordingly.

It is more about universal compatibility and ease of (ingestion and) access than extreme scalability.

Today on day 3 of the #StartupsAndScaleups course, we reviewed the foreword and the introduction chapter of Blitzscaling https://www.blitzscaling.com/

Main topics of discussion were two-sided business models, how Airbnb and WeChat/Tencent were triggered into blitzscaling, the Age of Networking and "the Age of Blitzscaling" and the current and future role of Silicon Valley as the epicenter of blitzscaling.

Hands-on assignments included identification of local companies with two-sided business models and compiling a business model canvas for a given blitzscaling company. We used https://www.business-model-canvas.app/ for the latter.

We also reviewed episode 3 (Articles of Incorporation) of season 1 of Silicon Valley https://silicon-valley.fandom.com/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation and used that as a backdrop for an assignment to complete the documents needed to incorporate a company here in the Faroe Islands. None of the students had tried that before, but it is surprisingly simple - although there still is room for improvement.

Finally, we discussed the recent developments at Flowcore, including the recently launched webpage at https://flowcore.io
