We are witnessing an explosion of data -- not only in high tech, but in domains as diverse as finance, media, healthcare, retail, and food. But more data isn't always leading to better decisions -- in some cases, information overload can even make things worse. That's why companies like Google and Facebook pioneered the use of modern data science and machine learning to handle the unprecedented scale. There is a real opportunity now for the next generation of startups to push us still further and make these techniques available to the broader economy. - Dan Zigmond, Director of Analytics at Facebook

The future will be less about how people find things, and more about how things find people at the moment of greatest contextual relevance." - Elias Roman, Songza Co-founder & CEO
