Summary

Quantbase is a YC-backed investment company that simplifies the process of turning investment research into an investable strategy for financial companies and individuals with an audience. Founded in 2021 by Thomas Stewart, Som Mohapatra, and Allen Calderwood, Quantbase aims to decrease the barrier to entry for firms and creators who want to become investment managers without dealing with fund operations. The company has partnered with Alpaca Broker API to make its experience seamless, allowing partners to offer their strategies through a full brokerage experience and clients to invest in these strategies with ease. Quantbase works closely with investment managers to generate quantitative portfolios from their data or create factor-based long-term portfolios, and provides a user-friendly investing experience for investors who can sign up and go through the onboarding process without lockups. Alpaca, a developer-first embedded financial technologies platform, has partnered with Quantbase to offer its services and supports the company's mission to make investment strategies accessible to more people.
