This has been tried before but hasn't caught on, i.e., ChoiceVendor. Would be curious as to what the B2Brev team feels is the secret sauce as lead/referral revenue only is interesting once you have critical mass.

Also, having sold data in a past life to hedge funds, I'm not sure how I see their report on the daily deals space being worth close to $10k esp with Groupon's IPO being back-burnered. Is it merchant satisfaction data over time? Or is the target market for the $10k report not the buy side?

B2Brev responding here. The target market is aimed more at daily deal companies and investors in daily deal sites.

Angie's List is more B2C (like Yelp).
