Bob Goodson is debuting his newest venture
Quid this week, which has been in in stealth for the past two years.
Quid's data platform aims to map the world's technologies, allowing companies to gain more insight on specific sectors and to allow government entities to figure out which emerging technologies can better serve their infrastructure.

Goodson tells me that after seeing how both emerging and modern countries depend on technology produced by private companies, he saw a gap in how this data about these companies and their products are being served to governments.
And this data, Goodsen says, can also be used by companies to gain insight on new technologies emerging, determine possible acquisition targets or to evaluate a competitive landscape.
