Moats, Not Pitfalls: How Founders Turn Data into Equity with Pia Turcinov AM

Data is often a startup’s hidden superpower—but without the right strategy, it can quickly become a compliance liability rather than a competitive advantage.

In this practical breakfast session, Pia Turcinov AM, General Partner at Fund WA, shares an investor’s perspective on what makes data truly investable. Rather than a technical deep dive, Pia explores the difference between building a strong data moat that protects your market position and falling into common early pitfalls that can quietly erode business value.

Whether you’re building a startup, leading innovation within an organisation, working with data, or simply curious about how investors think, you’ll leave with practical insights into protecting your ideas, strengthening your business, and creating long-term value.
