## Company Description

Quanted is a financial technology platform that connects buy-side investment professionals with investment-grade platforms for scalable data discovery, testing, and validation. We help investment teams turn the expanding universe of financial and alternative datasets into validated, actionable insight so investors can validate ideas, refine models and uncover new alpha before ever engaging a vendor. This allows funds to evaluate millions of data points within minutes while ensuring full IP protection for both the investor and the vendor.

## Core Principles

### For Hedge Funds

- Evaluate all partner datasets in as little as 30 minutes, without ingesting raw files or committing to lengthy vendor trials.

- Automatically identifies which datasets positively impact predictive model performance, highlighting only relevant sources.

- Outputs are explainable and MiFID II-compliant, showing which features drive performance without relying on black-box models.

- Reduces internal R&D, legal, and compliance costs by programmatically vetting data before engagement.

- Provides ready-to-use implementation scripts for quants to replicate results within their own systems, accelerating integration and reducing onboarding time.

- All analysis runs locally within the fund’s infrastructure. Proprietary signals and strategies remain fully private; only time-aligned segments are used to match vendor data.

### For Data Vendors

- Offers a new inbound channel where leads are pre-qualified — prospects have already tested your data and seen value before being referred.

- Speeds up sales cycles by replacing traditional 2–6 month trial periods with proof of value established in minutes.

- Ensures vendor data privacy: raw files are never exposed, only anonymized and featurized data are processed, and stored exclusively in RAM during evaluation.

- Zero upfront cost model: vendors only pay upon successful sales, aligning incentives and reducing risk.
