## Resource

Episode 62 of Business Models Explained with Fexingo dives into the business model of Nexar, the Israeli startup that turned dashcams into a real-time data marketplace. Lucas and Luna break down how Nexar aggregates anonymized video feeds from over 400,000 connected vehicles, sells insights to cities for traffic planning and to insurance companies for risk assessment, and competes with Google Maps and Waze by offering higher-fidelity data. They explore the unit economics—free hardware subsidized by data licensing—and the privacy tightrope Nexar walks. A concrete look at how sensor networks are becoming the new oil for smart cities and insurers. #Nexar #Dashcam #DataMarketplace #ConnectedCars #SmartCities #InsuranceTech #BusinessModel #TwoSidedPlatform #RealTimeData #Privacy #Telematics #UrbanPlanning #SensorNetwork #IsraeliStartup #Monetization #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
