Freeman Lewin, co-founder and CEO of Brickroad, appeared on the Hedgeineer Podcast in March 2026 to discuss data procurement for AI and machine learning companies. He described his company's focus on selling data to AI and ML firms, noting that the ideal customer profile for this market is engineers and researchers, in contrast to traditional hedge fund buyers. Lewin argued that the data industry is split between financial services and AI, with different purchasing dynamics. Lewin also discussed how consumption-based pricing for data may not necessarily mean lower revenue, as platforms can aggregate smaller relationships and smooth spending over time, similar to cloud computing models. Additionally, he predicted that data-centric AI would become more important as model developers close access to their weights and training data, making proprietary data a key competitive advantage.
