1 day agoWhat is a Datathon? And Why You Should Join One
Datathons are collaborative events where participants analyze real-world datasets to generate insights and solve practical problems.
We power over 160,000 restaurants. So you can imagine the data that sits in our platform. This data creates value for operators, allowing them to benchmark prices and identify opportunities for improvement.
Some innovative products are designed to solve a specific pain point for consumers, while others will address a problem they don't even realize they have. Take soggy sandwiches, for example. A focus group wouldn't necessarily highlight the need for a cooler that keeps sandwiches from getting soggy-but once the problem was identified, it helped inform the design of Ninja's line of FrostVault coolers, according to Michelle Crossan-Matos, the chief growth officer of SharkNinja.
