Problem Statement

Hedge funds have long enjoyed privileged access to high-quality data and advanced trading strategies, giving them an edge over individual traders and retail investors. However, they remain opaque, centralized, and exclusive. Furthermore, AI and ML advancements in finance are often limited to elite institutions.

The challenge is to harness the collective intelligence of independent data scientists and create a platform that incentivizes the development of high-performing predictive models. Traditional financial models are unable to tap into the decentralized nature of global expertise in an open and transparent way.
