One in particular is https://taxtoken.io/ which is only a few months old and they've gotten way more investment that I would have thought. Of course, they are easily the best business I've seen in the space - making government & accountants happy.
Even my business: https://projectpiglet.com/
I realeased the first verison of the trading suggestion engine two weeks ago and already people are signing up regularly. Personally, I'm not taking on investment (yet), but even I've had people sending me emails. It's pretty crazy in the space right now.
Honestly, it feels like a pretty big bubble.
One thing that is driving me nuts, is a lot of people in this space are investing based on whitepapers. There's very little research being done, and what is being done is often super faulty. I've spent years on developing and testing my systems, then people come out and don't even do backtesting properly[1] and will raise a ton of money. I often feel VCs are just chasing the times, investing in everyone in the field, and praying. Which would be fine, but it also will bring about the downfall because people will lose faith in the products and / or will lead to much higher and stricter regulation in the field.
This is especially the case of Bio & Fianance where I've spent most of my time.
Also, why is this a mailchimp link? Seems odd.
