Tim Draper discusses algorithm marketplaces, where data scientists sell algorithms on a pay-per-use model. The concept is straightforward but language barriers make it harder to explain across different markets.

Get specific. Okay, well, I'm a company. Yeah, why do I use this?
There was an element of language barrier coming in place, so there were a couple of things that definitely we wanted to communicate.
The idea is that you crowdsource algorithms. Yes. And you bring them all together, and when you say everyone, you really mean all the data scientists. And then people can— then you create a marketplace and For algorithms?
Yes. We are not selling algorithms directly on the market. It's one of the options, but the main thing is that companies can try algorithms on a pay-per-use basis.
