What Prospero.ai does

Prospero.ai is a New York-based fintech that operates a free, AI-powered mobile investing platform delivering institutional-grade market signals to retail investors. The company's core product, available on iOS and Android, packages ten proprietary signals — including Net Options Sentiment, Dark Pool Activity, Net Social Sentiment, Short Pressure Rating, and Upside Breakout/Downside Risk Scores — generated by 10,000+ AI/ML models that analyze over 100 million data points daily. The platform is built on joint intellectual property with NYU and leverages 13+ years of institutional predictive-pipeline experience from its leadership team. Complementary products include two Substack-based newsletters (a bi-weekly Investing Newsletter and a more frequent Trading Newsletter) plus an AI-powered stock screener and in-app Signal Learning Center.

The business model is currently freemium with all core signals free indefinitely and planned future monetization through premium app tiers (deeper screener capabilities, additional data feeds), paid newsletter subscriptions, and aggregated anonymized user data sold to third parties. The company has explicitly stated it is bootstrapped with no active revenue streams. Customer acquisition is product-led and community-led: distribution runs through app stores, Discord (with direct CEO access), YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Substack, and earned media across Forbes, Yahoo Finance, VentureBeat, Fortune, CNN, Nasdaq, and others. The company also operates an equity crowdfunding campaign on Republic, with 450+ retail investors participating in an October 2025 raise of $470,000+ and a follow-on raise of $534,551 in November 2025.

Customer concentration is highly diversified by design: all users are individual retail investors, active traders, or beginner investors using a horizontally-segmented consumer app. Prospero.ai is a private company led by CEO George Kailas, CTO Adam Plante, CPO Niles Plante, Co-Founder Will Chuchawat, and Chief Growth Officer Andrew Lokenauth. Stated use of recent crowdfunding proceeds includes international expansion beyond the current USA footprint and accelerated product development.

The product suite also includes bi-weekly Investing and frequent Trading newsletters on Substack, plus an AI-powered stock screener and curated "Our Picks" lists.

Product overview

The product ecosystem centers on the core Prospero.ai mobile app (iOS and Android), which is permanently free and delivers 10 proprietary AI signals, daily stock picks, and an AI-powered screener. Flanking the app are two Substack-based newsletters: the bi-weekly Investing Newsletter (blending qualitative and quantitative strategies for long-term investors) and the more frequent Trading Newsletter (covering opportunistic and event-based short-term strategies). The platform's 10,000+ AI/ML models analyze 100+ million data points daily to power the signal stack, screener, and pick recommendations — all tied together by an in-app learning center that teaches users to interpret and act on the signals.
