I did not set out to start a company. I left my previous job wanting to take a long break. Mere weeks into it, I found my co-founder, a real problem, and a real solution - all too good to pass up. Skip to today, and @finisterralabs.bsky.social is announcing our seed with Haun and Lightshift.

We don't have today an easy way with existing tools to back these answers with data (or even answer them accurately in the first place in less that 10 mins without a lot of involved data work).

Big things ahead for structured data! Finisterra Labs, the core team building Baselight, has raised $3.75M to make structured data open, computable, and monetizable. We’re just getting started. Here’s what this means for Baselight 🧵👇

Let's first have a look at how the number of data breaches and records lost have evolved globally throughout the years. We can see how there's an upward trend since 2004. There are some outliers and the trend is not as obvious as I would have expected baselight.app/u/adlrocha/q...

The death of humor. The fall of seduction. The reign of celebrity. Super Bowl ads used to be funny. Now they just cost $7M and make you feel things. If data had emotions, it would be sobbing into a series beer or insurance commercial right now.

My @baselightdb.bsky.social insight of the day! I was curious to know how the price of the nvidia stock evolved compared to the average price of new and used GPUs the last few years. It looks like the stock price over-performed the underlying product :)
