Hi Sebastian, just for context (i am collaborating with a leadingmarket data provider) there are 17 M+ organizations in italy alone (either alive or dead .. but maybe worth still being in a database). Maaaybe, just maaybe its worth tto talk to some of these organization and campaign the opening up of a super minimal dataset e.g. just name, registration city, status dead or alive. The rationale is that they could receive more hits to get all the "rest of the data" from paying customers. but it will be quite difficult one has to come up with a good pitch, and a lot of patience. Consider that permid seems to have one such super open dataset so maybe that's a starting point. Self catered "add your company" approaches, are not going to work in my opinion.
