Great first win, Iraklis! Finally here is a product that solves a nagging problem for all investment advisors - not only in onboarding new accounts, but in continually bringing a personalized approach to every client at any risk level. This is how quantitative finance should be done - pick a problem worth addressing, assess the issue in detail (given the founder's richer understanding backed by years of real experience), take the time to build out (without raising outside capital) and cast it into the market for feedback. Here's to a bright future, guys - way to go!
