This hasresulted in a one-way information flow, with hedge funds purchasing consumer data (such as credit card transaction history and social media data) and using it to outperform retail investors in the market. It scrapes alternative stock data from the internet and compiles it in a free, user-friendly web dashboard. | $2M / Seed / Mar 02, 2022 | |
