Analytics Companies, ProQuo, and “useful websites”
October 23rd, 2007 by Benjamin KuoI couldn’t help but noticing this interesting opening line from Michael Arrington in his review of La Jolla-based ProQuo last night:
This may be the most useful website you ever read about on TechCrunch.
I’m hoping there are lots of useful websites and companies in the list of companies we’ve been interviewing.
Arrington doesn’t mention it, but ProQuo is the latest analytics startup out of the San Diego area - with founders from ID Analytics, Basepoint Analytics, and HNC Software. San Diego has a wealth of companies in the sector, including FairIsaac (the company behind the FICO mortgage score). In fact, the San Diego Software Industry Council has been putting on an event (the forum on Analytics, which we are a media sponsor) around the industry. (Unfortunately, it looks like the event has been postponed due to the fires, but, when it does happen should be interesting…)
