Very cool! I've been interested in this area for quite some time. Here's one guy to built a hedge fund around the quantification of investor sentiment using online data (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-02/money-minded-h...)

"MarketPsych ran an audited hedge fund (MarketPsy Long-Short Fund LP) from 2008 through 2010, which beat the S&P benchmark by 25% during its lifetime."

Thanks so much!

I know the MarketPsych founder Richard. Great guy, super forward thinking and definitely someone we respect. He sells exclusively through TR now I believe.

Under the hood we are very different cos in terms of our data and what we aim to do with it. Time will tell ;-)

Did you get accepted? I liked your product concept and am working on something similar.

I'd like to see you succeed, one way or another.

We didn't get an invite.

Wow. I'm honestly surprised. If I had been a YC guy, I'd have wanted to at least speak with you.

On the surface, I think you guys look awesome. We should network somehow.

Sure... would love to. Shoot me an email. james@psychsignal.com
