This week we’re publishing a “bonus episode,” an interview with Jigar Navadiya, co-founder of DataSlush. Jigar’s company is a pioneering research-based organization dedicated to helping companies unlock the hidden potential within their data.Tom wasn’t able to join the show the special-episode recording, so Jigar and Curtis recorded the episode onsite at our friends’ studio at Auxiom. Curtis and Jigar discuss their 10+ year working relationship, which began when Jigar solved a problem posted by Curtis on an online coding forum and blossomed into a friendship and working partnership as part of Collideascope’s “Teamlance” model.
