Description

[Delphia](https://delphia.com/) is building a new kind of asset manager that rethinks the value of data and how it can be used to gain an edge in forecasting markets. We believe that actively managing people’s data can unlock new forms of wealth creation for individual and institutional investors alike.

To create the next [Millennium](https://www.mlp.com/) (and eventually, [Blackstone](https://www.blackstone.com/)), you need each of the following;

1. A captivating reason for people to connect their data ([in beta](https://abr.ge/k4xqep))
2. A way to automate data extraction from aggregators ([acquired](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/delphia-strengthens-data-rights-with-acquisition-of-fathom-privacy-301696745.html))
3. A cooperative way to ensure “fair trade” compensation for data ([built](https://www.supersetdao.com/))
4. A way to reward data contributors transparently and irreversibly ([on pause](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/09/28/algorithmic-stock-platform-delphia-debuts-digital-asset-component/))
5. A way to discover investment managers with uncorrelated alpha ([open sourced](https://github.com/charliereese/investos))
6. A way to help investment managers make use of our data advantage ([partnered](https://covariance.ai/))
7. A way to benchmark performance and gain access to stock order flow (coming soon)
8. Capacity rights in investment strategies whose returns improve with data ([first of many](http://www.oraclealpha.com/)), and
9. A secure training environment for third-party ML models (the goal of our next venture round)

If our thesis bears out, the $7 billion alternative data industry ([$135 billion by 2030](https://explodingtopics.com/blog/alternative-data-market)) may be in for a Cambrian explosion that has yet to be priced in. Being able to acquire ground truth cost-effectively using first-party data, and thus being able to forecast fundamentals more accurately, is the key to attracting the world’s best investment ideas to a platform.

People at Delphia are socially-minded creatives at heart. Our teams are continually researching, iterating, and solving hard problems in order to generate new forms of economic returns. Our multi-disciplinary team was founded in 2018 and is a graduate of [Y Combinator](https://ycombinator.com/) and the [Creative Destruction Lab](https://creativedestructionlab.com/). We’ve raised three rounds of funding ([~$80 million](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/delphia)) to date.
