????Data Collective公司管理合伙人扎卡里?博格

????早在2011年的時候，扎卡里?博格與馬特?奧克多就在舊金山灣區成立了一家風投公司，專門關注大數據領域的創業，這種眼光在當時無疑是非同一般的。從那時起，這家公司的業務也隨著大數據的浪潮而水漲船高。博格表示：“成本曲線很快就被越過了。急速下降的成本使這些新方法得以沖擊那些舊的行業。”今年，該公司又推出了自己的第三支基金，使它的總融資額達到將近2.5億美元。該公司把賭注押在了短期借貸創業公司LendUp，以及內存數據庫服務MemSQL等新銳公司上。據說MemSQL要比市面上現有的內存數據庫便宜得多也快得多。博格表示：“科技為廣大的市場和行業開放了前所未有的投資機會。我們的一個觀點是，每個部門和行業都會被科技徹底擾亂，真是令人興奮。”——Andrew Nusca（財富中文網）

????It was certainly unusual for Zack Bogue and Matt Ocko to launch Data Collective, a San Francisco Bay Area venture capital fund focused on big data companies, in 2011. But the pair has been riding a surging wave ever since. “Cost curves are rapidly being crossed everywhere,” Bogue says. “Plunging costs are enabling all of these brand new ways to attack these old line industries.” This year, the firm launched its third fund, bringing its total raised to nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. It’s making bets on companies like LendUp, a nimble payday lending startup, and MemSQL, an in-memory database that is “orders of magnitude” cheaper and fast than what’s on the market. “It’s a little bit of a Cambrian explosion,” Bogue says. “It’s opening up massive markets or industries for investment that previously weren’t available. One of our theses is that every single vertical, industry, SIC code will be fundamentally disrupted by technology. It’s really exciting.” —Andrew Nusca
