Quantamize

Quantamize, operating under the legal name Quantalytics Research, LLC, was a financial technology firm established in 2016 by co-founders Stephen Mathai-Davis and Wallace Mathai-Davis. The company positioned itself as a research and trading strategy provider, targeting a clientele ranging from novice investors to advanced traders. Its business model was centered on a subscription service, offering access to a suite of investment tools through monthly, annual, or free trial plans.

The genesis of Quantamize stemmed from the founders' extensive backgrounds in finance and technology. Wallace Mathai-Davis brought over 35 years of experience in international asset management, FinTech, and wealth management, having lived and worked in multiple countries and holding senior executive roles. Stephen Mathai-Davis, a seasoned trader and quantitative analyst, started his career on Wall Street and later launched his own hedge fund before creating Quantamize. His experience in institutional investment management, which he was exposed to from a young age, shaped the company's mission to democratize access to institutional-grade investment tools for retail investors.

The core of Quantamize's offering was an AI-powered investment research platform. This platform utilized multi-factor quantitative models to analyze and provide recommendations on a wide array of assets, including over 10,000 global stocks from 30 countries, 3,000 ETFs, options, and more than 100 cryptocurrencies. Key features included the proprietary "Q-Factor" score, which graded securities from A to F, in-depth research reports called "QuantShots," and various options strategies tailored to different risk levels. The platform was designed to make large datasets understandable and to help users identify investment opportunities across different asset classes like stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies.

A significant milestone in the company's history occurred in October 2019, when Forbes Global Media Holdings acquired a majority stake in the firm, which was then known as Quantalytics AI Labs. Following the acquisition, the company was rebranded as Q.ai and its product offerings were expanded. Prior to the acquisition, Quantamize had successfully raised capital, including a $3.9 million equity sale. While Quantamize as a brand is now defunct and considered a deadpooled company, its technology and mission continue under the Q.ai brand.
