Estimize

Estimize is a financial technology company that addresses the inherent bias in sell-side analyst forecasts by offering a crowdsourced platform for earnings estimates. The platform aggregates data from buy-side, independent, and amateur analysts to produce more reliable and timely forecasts. Estimize serves discretionary and quantitative investors who seek to identify trading and investing opportunities faster and with greater accuracy. Operating in the financial market, Estimize's business model revolves around providing access to its dataset through subscriptions and API integrations. The company makes money by offering free trial access to its live API and historical testing files, encouraging users to contribute their estimates in exchange for access. Estimize's consensus estimates have consistently proven to be more accurate and robust than traditional Wall Street sources like Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. This accuracy is particularly beneficial for short-term applications where precision is crucial.
