Congratulations on the launch. Beautiful UI! In terms of product market fit I can tell you that I've been kicking around building systems to automate my investment decisions, Ray-Dalio-style. I personally adhere to the church of macroeconomic investing, so what I was aiming to build was a setup that would buy or sell positions when various leading indicators went one way or another. It'd be really cool if you hooked into Google Sheets. My plan was to run nightly Google Scripts that dump the data into Google Sheets and get alerted when thresholds have been crossed or trends are emerging. Or, you could pull this data into your platform and enable users to make decisions based off of it. Pretty much everything I need is available from FRED, but if you got access to proprietary data like the Consumer Confidence Index that would be a big value add for me.
This next comment might make me some enemies, but seeing as I seem to be close to your market I figured you'll appreciate the feedback. Crypto seems like a dying fad to me. More importantly, I'm weary of doing business with companies engaged in crypto. I loved Robinhood up until they jumped on the crypto wagon. I still use them, but I fear that something crypto-related will blow up, and my hard-earned money will suddenly be tied up in an insolvent startup. Irrational fear, I know, but it's there. The real opportunity here in my eyes is to go after Robinhood, and build a similarly user-friendly experience for slightly-more sophisticated users.
- rohitgoyal 8y agoWhat we are trying to build is asset independent. We started with cryptocurrencies because it was easiest to integrate with. I understand your mistrust in cryptocurrency related projects. We don’t hold user’s tokens in our wallet. We are figuring out the best ways to add equities and forex as well. Right now we are providing all the data feeds ourselves. If there is more demand from the users for manual entry of data, we might support it later. Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback.
