I would personally be interested in social media and web analytics data. Those are the only 2 I can think of that are open. I know it's out there but something simplified would be nice instead of us having to process and store every single tweet, like, etc.
There are many other types of data that I would love but are either owned by other corporations or are too expensive for a startup.

On the other hand, it is fairly difficult data to gather - and even harder to keep up to date... it certainly falls into the class of "doing things that don't scale"
Bloomberg and Reuters are a monopoly.
Macro economic data (eg inflation, GDP) (the ones published by WB and sovereign states)
really annoying that the price on this hasn't come down yet
order of magnitude higher ^2 than 'for consumption' personal use
It isn't an efficient market and I am expressing my discontent with it.
There should have been a race to the bottom with pricing over a decade ago.
