Estimize is a financial estimates platform that crowdsources earnings-per-share and revenue forecasts from a community of more than 120,000 contributors - including buy-side, sell-side and independent analysts, students, academics and private investors. By aggregating and weighting these estimates, Estimize produces a consensus that has repeatedly proven more accurate and more timely than the traditional Wall Street sell-side consensus, and sells that data to hedge funds, asset managers and quantitative researchers. Since 2021 it has operated as part of alternative-data and quant research firm ExtractAlpha.
Kalshi is a New York-based, CFTC-regulated financial exchange where people trade contracts on the outcomes of real-world events - elections, economic data, sports, weather, corporate events and culture. Founded in 2018 by MIT classmates and former quant traders Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara, it became the first U.S. exchange federally approved to list event contracts. By 2026 it accounts for the large majority of U.S. prediction-market activity, has raised roughly $2.6 billion across its rounds, and was valued at $22 billion after a $1 billion Series F.
