This is a bullshit article... ycominator is an “angel” who invests in “startups” like alpaca markets, a “free” trading platform.
This “free” trading platform, isn’t a startup, it’s a front for the front running side of the business alpaca.ai, yes the users in this YC backed front, are just the inputs to a more elaborate Japanese trading firm that front runs US markets.
You guys are Hippocrates.
- tlb 7y agoY Combinator is a seed accelerator, not an angel investor. They're quite distinct types of investors. Your point about Alpaca is unclear to me. If you want to convince anyone, perhaps you should write a blog post, with sources and evidence, to explain why you think it's not a startup?
- chews 7y agoOpen tab to alpaca.markets Then Open tab to alpaca.ai Look around on both that they share founders, and that one startup is used to power the other. It’s like Robin Hood but sneakier. P.s. I work in the regulated finance space, finra compliance is my life now.
