Global Predictions

Global Predictions is a financial technology company that operates as a Registered Investment Advisor, founded by Alexander Harmsen and Reid Hartman. Harmsen, the CEO, is a tech entrepreneur with a background in building AI-driven products for entities like NASA and founding a successful autonomous vehicle software company, Iris Automation, before selling it in 2021. This experience in creating models for complex, regulated environments inspired the formation of Global Predictions. The company's team includes professionals with experience from institutions such as Bridgewater Associates and Fidelity.

The firm has developed a platform that acts as a digital twin of the economy, utilizing a proprietary Economic Insights Engine. This engine processes tens of thousands of time series—spanning macroeconomics, public health, and geopolitical risk—to generate 12-month forecasts and personalized financial advice. Its technology stack includes a knowledge graph mapping global economic relationships, a forecasting system using a mix of machine learning and economic models, and an engine that monitors for anomalies.

Global Predictions offers its services through two main channels. Its flagship product for individuals is PortfolioPilot.com, an AI-powered financial advisor that offers a free portfolio tracking and assessment tool, with a paid subscription for personalized recommendations. This service allows users to connect various accounts, including banking, brokerage, crypto, and real estate, to receive a holistic analysis, portfolio scoring, and actionable insights. For fintechs and institutions, the company provides the GP API, which gives access to its forecasts, time series data, and portfolio management insights.

The company's business model for its consumer product is a flat-fee subscription for premium services, aiming to democratize access to sophisticated, hedge fund-inspired investment tools. For institutional clients, it offers integrated API solutions. Global Predictions has raised $2 million in seed funding from investors including Morado Ventures, Village Global, and AME Cloud Ventures.
