The first AI for finance.
Founded in December 2022 and based in New York City, Feather is the first AI-powered financial research platform. Conventionally, analysts have to painstakingly read dozens of financial filings for each answer in their research process. Feather’s AI saves them 12+ hours per week by acting as a personal research team, deriving actionable insights, with citations, on demand. Meanwhile, Feather’s fundamental data covers all major asset classes, from equities, options, and bonds to commodities, currencies, and macroeconomies. It also covers 100,000 insiders (buys/sells, holdings, etc.) and 20,000 institutions (holdings, transactions, etc.) — truly making Feather a one-stop solution for all financial research. Feather powers trades for both the nation’s top institutions, as well as retail traders worldwide. Sign up for a free trial at https://app.try-feather.com.

❌ Financial Data is Too Expensive
Successful investing requires rationally analyzing the facts — but where to find these facts quickly, easily, and inexpensively?
Wall Street’s biggest institutions depend on tools like the Bloomberg Terminal to instantly discover compelling investments. But at over $25,000 per year, they exclude most investors from the same opportunities.

👨💻 Why Are We Building This?
We are building Feather to scratch our own itch. Before co-founding Feather, I founded a long-only, value-oriented hedge fund from my freshman dorm room at Vanderbilt and led it to approach $1 million capitalization. While running the fund, I exhausted my access to Vanderbilt’s on-campus Bloomberg Terminal and was forced to find an alternative that did not cost over $25,000 per year. After searching extensively, I discovered no existing platform affordably provided the data I needed, so I partnered with Patrick to build our own solution.
