About us
Our mission:
"Reduce all external investment risk to promote growth worldwide"
Humanity is finally at the right intersection of economic models, understanding of complex systems, machine learning, data, and access to venture capital to build this properly.
We're using 100,000s of time series from public health and stock market movements, to macroeconomics and technology trends to make 2-12 month forecasts for policy makers, multinational corporations, and actors within the financial sector.
In the latest measure, the models are outperforming IMF forecasts by 34%, and the platform keeps improving.
Backed by an expert team in finance, ML/AI, economic modeling, and company-building.
