"Organizations from airlines to insurance companies to hospitals are
trying to figure out how to corral all their data and turn it into
something useful. Kaggle, a start-up, has figured out a way to
connect these companies with the mathematicians and scientists who
crunch numbers for a living or a hobby. On Thursday, it announced it
had raised $11 million from investors including Khosla Ventures, Index
Ventures and Hal Varian, Google's chief economist. "We're really
making big data into a sport," said Anthony Goldbloom, Kaggle's
founder."
