Alphien

Founded in 2017, Alphien is a financial technology company that bridges the gap between academic research and the financial industry. It operates a cloud-based, collaborative research platform where a global community of quantitative researchers and data scientists (called "Alphiens") compete to develop and backtest investment strategies. The top-performing strategies are then licensed to financial institutions, such as asset managers and hedge funds, providing them with innovative, data-driven solutions. Alphien's mission is to democratize quantitative finance by providing open access to financial data and institutional-grade research tools.
