About Five By Five

Your trusted hub for data-driven innovation

We’re not just redefining how businesses access data; we’re building the future of digital innovation. The 5×5 Data Cooperative is where visionaries come to scale, grow, and lead the next wave of digital products.

Our Story

Turning a problem into a revolution

The 5×5 Data Co-op was born out of a necessity we felt firsthand. We were building innovative digital products but there was one constant roadblock: data. Traditional data vendors stifle innovation and lack access to the kind of data that could keep pace with our vision. The 5×5 Co-op was built to address these gaps.

We created the 5×5 Data Cooperative (5×5) to transform how data is sourced, shared, and leveraged across industries. 

We’re not just another data vendor. We’re entrepreneurs solving the very challenges we’ve faced ourselves. We understand your struggles because we’ve lived them. In an era where data is the bedrock of growth, innovation, and efficiency, 5×5 provides members with access to a powerful, self-healing data ecosystem that is continuously enriched and validated by its members. And now, we’ve made it our mission to ensure no company has to compromise on their path to innovation.

Data shouldn’t be a barrier; it should be a launchpad.
