Research a company (either non-profit or for profit) that we have not mentioned in class that has a public good initiative. What is the company’s main purpose/goal? What is its social good initiative? How does the company use big data to address the social good? How does the company obtain that big data? Where is the data coming from? Is it a start-up or an established company? If it is a non-profit company, how are they benefiting from pursuing the public good? If it is for-profit, how much of the business is dedicated to pursuing the public good?  Write a 400-500 word response.
