4 months ago, we started working on an 'autonomous investing' platform and hosting @everesteer_ hedge fund hackathons around the world. San Francisco is the 'Everest' of this ecosystem, and it was such an honour to co-host an event in this city!!
Thank you all who made this possible; our small team of principally Hungarian machine learning researchers, engineers and quant professionals truly appreciate the help from @tryramp & the trust from @btv_vc!
In the past 2 weeks, it has also become clear that the race to build new 'autonomous investing' platforms and capture the technological advancements enabled by frontier models has begun, with several better-funded, more experienced rivals launching.
But competition and better funding have never scared me. With EverestQuant, we compete with billion-dollar hedge funds every day, and are slowly succeeding.
Before I decided to climb Mt. Everest, I had little mountaineering experience, only relentless ambition and an 'Eastern European' hard-working perseverance.
To achieve truly worthwhile things in life, you need to dream big, work hard, use your talents every day, and persevere with humble tenacity and relentless grit over many years. Our team has all of these, and I have never been more excited about the future.
Onwards & upwards!
