Ask HN: Can you sell alternative data to financial firms as a side hustle?

* What major challenges did you encounter? * What revenue model can you use? * Generally who are your customers: eg small hedge funds, big banks, other data vendors? I'm curious why this doesn't seem to appear in the usual side hustle threads, I must be failing to consider some things. I’m sure a truly novel source of alpha is unlikely to occur to little old me, but as far as side projects go, this seems relatively well-defined in comparison to designing an app and finding product-market fit.
