Nomad Data

Nomad Data is a New York-based AI platform that helps companies find, buy, and understand external data. Founded in 2020 by Brad Schneider and Justin Manikas, it began as a marketplace matching data buyers to a network of thousands of providers - buyers submit a use case, and providers respond with data that can actually solve it. The platform has since expanded into an AI layer for reading unstructured documents (its Doc Chat product) and managing data relationships, serving hedge funds, private equity, insurance, and asset-management firms that spend heavily on third-party data.
