       | very cool site. I have two question/request: -Can you make an api
       | to acces all of the data from the website?(Possibly for free,
       | because I'm cheap) -I live in Europe, I tend to look more about
       | the European stocks, and even the european equialent of the same
       | stocks. Is it possible to make them work,too? For example APC.DE
       | for Apple and TL0.DE for Tesla.

       | Big fan of alternate data. I appreciate:
       | 
       | -- the effort expended to go out and collect a lot of different
       | types of (publicly available) alternate data
       | 
       | -- the look and feel of the interface
       | 
       | A few comments:
       | 
       | -- Who is the target audience?
       | 
       | The user has to convince themselves that this is useful data, and
       | to do that they would have to run some backtests or statistics,
       | and the data in its current form doesn't lend itself to that.
       | 
       | -- Confidence
       | 
       | The user also has to be confident that the data is accurate, and
       | that it will stick around.
       | 
       | -- Exclusivity
       | 
       | The data will likely be useful to the extent that it is not
       | widely shared. Decaying alpha is an age old problem so you don't
       | have to have a solution but what are your thoughts around it?

         | telling.

       | this is a beautiful webapp with lots of interesting data, very
       | nice!!
       | 
       | i'd like a couple more screens on fundamentals, see
       | https://hypercharts.co/tsla for inspiration
       | 
       | but still, super impressive (esp the transcript formatting) and i
       | wish you got more upvotes from the HN crowd!

       | Looks like their alternative data is actually fairly limited.
       | From what I see it's showing off Similarweb page visits here (or
       | some comparable product), Google Trends and scraped job listing
       | metrics. Everything else is just regular financials you'd get
       | from a 10Q.
       | 
       | This is nowhere near the level of alternative data institutional
       | players have, which costs mid-six figures to low-seven figures
       | per major dataset.

           | Good luck getting retail investors to pay. Most do not pay
           | and those that do pay for actionable trade ideas (ie buy X
           | options and sell the next day)

       | TWTR shows as "Founder Led" https://strike.market/stocks/TWTR
       | 
       | What causes that to appear? Jack still being on the board?

         | Yes, if Founder is still in management/board we marked it as
         | Founder-led.

       | How do you make sure your data is accurate? Could you tell us
       | where you get all your data from?

         | We have a lot of data sources. Basic financial data we got from
         | paid APIs, all other alternative data sources are our
         | robots/scrapers...
         | 
         | We have also our Analysts who choose which data to track for
         | each company - it is really important to show only relevant
         | data, so this is done manually.

       | There are some things I like, largely the visuals.
       | 
       | But I would like more granular increments on the graphs. The jump
       | from 1 day to 1 month is a bit too big.
       | 
       | Also my basis for comparison is finance.yahoo.com which lets me
       | check things like the current conversion rate for a
       | cryptocurrency to USD. Could those be added here, or is that too
       | far outside the intended data set?
       | 
       | I found the search prioritizes tickers over company names so much
       | so that typing "netfli" doesn't show me Netflix as an option.
       | Only typing the whole name had it turn up.

       | Be curious if you shared more on who you are, why you built it,
       | and what your plans are?

         | Sure. I am a tech entrepreneur & stock investor from the Czech
         | Republic and together with my small team, we are building this
         | platform.
         | 
         | As an investor and tech guy I used data like website traffic,
         | mobile apps ranks, google trends, share of search and so on
         | before strike.market on my own, manually. But it is very time
         | consuming to check these data every month for every website,
         | app etc. So this is the reason why I started strike.market - I
         | want to automate this process. There is "Smart Feed" where you
         | have all the notifications when there is some change in your
         | companies.
         | 
         | Our goal is to put together all possible public data about
         | companies and help investors see what happens "behind the
         | curtain" in real-time.

       | much data and visuals still makes it easy to navigate and scroll.
       | At the footer we get a list of companies in similar industry and
       | I clicked on TATAMOTORS but it opened TVSMOTORS. Maybe the list
       | indexing or something.
