For Data Tools & Services

Amplify your voice, earn structured visibility & better distribution into the Data & Investing industries

A pick, shovel and ho
Picks and shovels...

Data tools and services firms in the information or investing industries are not only the picks and shovels, but they can really be force multipliers with the right strategy, network and connections. Most don't struggle because their product is bad.

They struggle because:

  • the right buyers and operators are hard to reach
  • the market is noisy and fragmented
  • credibility is earned slowly
  • too many relationships stay ad hoc instead of becoming structured I/O
  • they get pushed into generic sponsorships, one-off intros, or undifferentiated directories

We help data tools, workflow vendors, infrastructure firms, marketplaces, service partners and related media brands participate in the data market more efficiently through four main offerings:

  1. The Data Market Network (DMN): a more structured system of curated events, invite-only groups, and shared resources for the people actually doing the work across data sourcing, monetization, and workflow infrastructure.
    → Participate in relevant events and curated rooms
    → Sponsor an Event
    → Become part of the broader tools and services ecosystem
  2. Tools & Services Market Network: a curated ecosystem of workflow tools, infrastructure providers, service firms, media partners, and supporting vendors relevant to investors, data providers, and the teams in between.
    → Public listings
    → Premium / featured market network placement
    → Bundle offers, discounts, and partner perks
  3. Strategic Partnerships: for tools, marketplaces, media platforms, communities, and service firms with meaningful overlap across audience, workflow, content, infrastructure, or distribution.
    → Referral or bi-directional rev share
    → Co-marketing / co-distribution
    → Embedded, bundled, reseller, or channel relationships
  4. Amass Insights Content + Directories + Operator Network: research, ecosystem visibility, and partner infrastructure that can help the right tools become more discoverable, better contextualized, and more useful inside the data market.

Resulting from these offerings, please explore the following options for how we can engage further:

1: Get Listed in the Tools & Services Market Network

Best for firms that want baseline visibility and a cleaner way to be discovered by the right people in the ecosystem.

This is the lightest-weight way to participate.

Typical benefits may include:

  • placement in the broader tools and services market network
  • categorization by workflow, use case, and buyer/provider relevance
  • discoverability across the DMN / Amass ecosystem
  • eligibility for future premium placement or bundle participation

2: Sponsor a DMN Event

Best for firms that want credible visibility in curated rooms.

Tools and services can sponsor:

  • DMN Exchange virtual events
  • Data Investor Club dinners
  • Data Provider Club roundtables and sessions
  • other relevant private or public ecosystem events

This is designed for:

  • brand credibility
  • thoughtful amplification
  • insight-led participation
  • warm, opt-in follow-up pathways

Not demos. Not attendee list dumps. Not a pitch-fest.

3: Explore a Deeper Partnership

Best for firms that want more than a basic listing and are looking for a more structured presence inside the data market ecosystem.

This option covers a range of partnership models depending on fit, from stronger market network placement to deeper ecosystem, distribution, or strategic relationships.

Typical benefits may include:

  • expanded profile visibility
  • richer workflow / use-case mapping
  • premium or featured market network placement
  • editorial amplification
  • inclusion in selected workflow, stack, or resource pages
  • ability to include DMN-specific discounts, offers, or perks
  • stronger visibility to relevant subscribers, members, and partners
  • bundle participation
  • event integration or sponsorship opportunities
  • referral, reseller, co-distribution, or bi-directional rev share structures where appropriate
  • embedded, feed, metadata, or scoped sublicensing arrangements where appropriate

This is generally the right fit for:

  • workflow tools
  • compliance / DDQ / procurement tools
  • entity mapping and enrichment tools
  • delivery / warehousing / infrastructure partners
  • analytics, dashboarding, and signal generation firms
  • implementation and specialized service partners
  • marketplaces and discovery platforms
  • media ecosystem partners
  • conferences, newsletters, and communities
  • distribution partners with reseller, embedded, or co-branded potential

Some partners are a fit for stronger market network placement. Others are a fit for featured or preferred ecosystem visibility. And a smaller number are a fit for deeper strategic ecosystem partnerships.

If that sounds like you, apply through the same form above and mark that you’re interested in a Strategic Partnership consideration. We’ll route you to the right partnership path.
