About CrowdCent
CrowdCent is on a mission to decentralize investment management by changing the way investment funds make decisions and allocate capital. We are the machine learning and coordination layer for online investment communities looking to turn their data into actionable, investable portfolios.
By combining human insight with artificial intelligence, we're creating a new type of investing where investment ideas and algorithms are judged purely on merit, not pedigree. We enable fundamental analysts and data scientists worldwide to collaborate and compete based on their contributions — creating investment strategies that crowdsource the best of both human and machine intelligence.

Our Culture
Integrity and Transparency
We build trust through radical transparency and alignment between our words and actions.
First Principles
We derive our strategies from foundational truths rather than from following conventional wisdom.
Accountability
We take ownership of our decisions with full commitment to both the rewards and consequences.
Modesty
We prioritize meaningful impact over appearances, letting our results speak for themselves.
Collaboration
We are an open node in the growing decentralized investment ecosystem, creating value through shared knowledge and mutual growth. We have no competitors, only potential collaborators.
Elegant Pragmatism
We find beauty in simple systems that execute complex processes exceptionally well.
Our Inspiration
"Be guided by beauty. Beauty is an aesthetic. There is beauty in things that work really well — the way a company is run, or the way a theorem comes out."
"Trust is one of the greatest economic forces on earth."
"Figure out what works and do it"
"In the abstract, life is a mixture of chance and choice. Chance can be thought of as the cards you are dealt in life. Choice is how you play them."
"Use machine learning to take data and do something that is better than what the humans are doing. Take human crowdsourced data and compute something new."
"I would start an AI company whose goal would be to teach computers how to read, so that they can absorb and understand all the written knowledge of the world."
