Business and consumer database provider DatabaseUSA is sponsoring an app development competition. The company, which has headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, offers a range of products and services including consumer and business marketing lists, mailing lists, email lists, business lists, database solutions, sales leads, alongside direct mail marketing options. It prides itself on offering “95% accurate, triple-verified database of mailing lists, email lists, and sales leads”. DatabaseUSA’s competition asks web developers to design apps that will allow its customers to utilize its products.
DatabaseUSA aims to enable “creative minds to find data driven solutions, and to make those solutions available to the marketplace”. Both individuals and businesses are allowed to enter. The winner will receive a 1-year license to DatabaseUSA's data (which has a value of around $300,000) as a prize. Those wishing to take part should visit the company’s website.
"We have the best consumer and business data available, but we know we don't have a monopoly on the best ideas," explained DatabaseUSA’s President, Mark Richard. "This is a way for creative minds to develop solutions that haven't been imagined, or haven't been considered because of data costs."
