We spent much of college experimenting with our own trading strategies. We became obsessed with one question: why should sophisticated trading tools only be accessible to Wall Street?\n\n**TL;DR:** Describe a trading idea in natural language. Conviction tests it on historical data and deploys an AI agent that trades on your behalf.\\\n\\\n\n\n**The Problem**\n\nMost people don't have time to stare at charts all day. \n\nBut trading ideas show up everywhere: On Reddit. In the news. On X. YouTube. TikTok.\n\nThe hard part is separating signal from noise and acting in time. \\\n\\\n**Our solution**\n\nConviction gives everyday investors access to the kind of research, testing, and execution tools that were once built primarily for professional trading desks.\n\n### **How it works**\n\n1. **Start with an idea**\\\n Describe a trading thesis or discover one from the market.\n2. **Research it instantly**\\\n Conviction pulls from SEC filings, financial news, market data, X, Truth Social, Reddit, earnings, and other signals to help you build the strategy.\n3. **Test before you trade**\\\n Backtest your strategy against historical market data in seconds and see how it would have performed.\n4. **Try it with fake money in the real market**\\\n Paper trade the strategy live before putting real capital behind it.\n5. **Deploy when you are ready**\\\n Connect your brokerage and put your strategy to work.\n6. **Let your agent watch the market for you**\\\n Your AI agent continuously monitors market data, technical indicators, news sentiment, SEC filings, earnings, social signals, and more, then acts when your conditions are met.\n\nInstitutions have always been one step ahead. Our mission is to bridge that gap and bring those tools to you.\n\n**Start trading here:** [convictiontrade.ai](http://convictiontrade.ai)\n\n**Questions?** Email us here: [founders@convictiontrade.ai](mailto:founders@convictiontrade.ai)\n\n**Join our Discord** to be part of the Conviction community.

Vendor discovery and vetting**\\\nAI agents map the hospital’s gaps and goals to the best AI tools on the market, while our review engine flags any compliance issues in vendor documentation.\n\n**2. State-of-the-art benchmarking and evaluations**\\\nOur automated scoring and stress testing helps decision makers identify the best-fit options.\n\n**3. Real-time observability**\\\nOnce a tool is adopted, Parachute monitors it from inception through post-deployment. We automate real-time tracking of performance, drift, and bias – alerting you the moment any metric slips below threshold.\n\n**4.

WithAI helps institutional investors use AI to research stocks and manage their portfolios.

Email [ian@withai.co](mailto:ian@withai.co).\n\n\n\nAI has radically transformed coding. But in finance, super-sharp, highly-paid people are spending 2026 combing through an inbox full of PDFs, updating models in Excel, and eyeballing Bloomberg charts. Multiplier packages everything necessary to change that! It includes secure inference endpoints, changelogs, ontology maintainance, guardrails, and VM infrastructure, and it's all hosted on client servers. With a mix of open-source protocols and WithAI elbow grease, Multiplier connects to all the research, tools, and data used at a given firm. We conduct face-to-face interviews so we can give AI the tacit knowledge it needs to work at _your fund specifically_; gaps get filled by user feedback to the AI. Our interface––more like an IDE than a collection of chatboxes––makes oversight, guidance, and participation natural. Early clients have called Multiplier \"a tremendous proprietary knowledge flywheel\" and \"hugely insightful, a massive force multiplier.\" (In fact, that's where we got the name.) \n\nBen and Ian became fast friends building a deeptech investment group together (still going strong) and reunited because they'd independently hit on this idea. Ben, working on enterprise AI as founding researcher at Sentient Labs, saw what stopped his clients from accelerating like his engineers and wanted to productize the solution for the industry he knew best––investing. Ian, (profitably) overseeing an (undisclosably large) equity book at Bridgewater Associates, hacked together AI tools to help himself. They had a call to catch up one night and were spooked how they'd come to the same ideas.\n\nIf you know someone who picks stocks for a living (at a hedge fund, mutual fund, family office, etc.), we'd love to meet them.

We are trusted by 1,000+ customers, serving millions of requests daily.\n\n\n\n**The problem**\n\nBloomberg, FactSet, and S&P spent 30 years building market data for humans staring at terminals. The entire stack assumes an analyst in the loop to interpret and verify the numbers.\n\nAgents can't use that stack. Instead, they need machine-readable schemas, natural language search, and a citation back to the source document. None of the incumbent infrastructure was built for the AI era.\n\n**What we built**\n\nThe only market API your agent needs:\n\n* A single place for your agent to gather all of its market data: fundamentals, earnings, KPIs, SEC filings, ownership, pre-IPO financials, prices, and more.\n* Live in seconds, not minutes. Financial data is parsed, structured, and queryable seconds after companies publish them.\n* Benchmarked against ground truth at 99.99% precision. Anything below that bar never reaches the API, so your agent never sees bad data.\n* Delivered over REST, an MCP server, and webhooks. Works out of the box with Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, and OpenClaw.\n\nYou can ship our data inside your own product. Redistribution included, no per-seat pricing, no anti-AI usage restrictions.\n\n**The team**\n\nI'm Virat, founder of [Financial Datasets](https://financialdatasets.ai/). I have spent 14 years working as a software engineer at tech companies like Acorns, Airbnb, and Faire.\n\nI started Financial Datasets after getting frustrated by how difficult it was to give my agents high quality, real-time stock market data.\n\nI have been building finance agents since 2022 and posting about it daily on [X](https://x.com/virattt). My two open source projects, ai-hedge-fund (60K stars) and Dexter (27K stars), are used by professional and retail investors today.\n\n**Our ask**\n\nIf you’re building agents that touch the market, I’d love to chat.
