FinBrain Technologies

What FinBrain Technologies does

FinBrain Technologies is a New York-based alternative data platform founded in 2018 that aggregates twelve ticker-mapped datasets across 12,000+ US stocks and ETFs for systematic traders, quantitative funds, trading platforms, corporate intelligence teams, and individual researchers. The platform's core asset is normalized, point-in-time data with an average of 10 years of history, covering price forecasts (ARIMA-based time-series), NLP-driven news sentiment, insider transactions, House and Senate trades, analyst ratings, options put/call ratios, LinkedIn metrics, app store ratings, corporate lobbying, government contracts, patent filings, and Reddit mentions, with price forecasts additionally extending to 20 global markets across equities, forex, crypto, and commodities.

The technology stack is delivered through four interfaces sharing a consistent schema: a visual Terminal (terminal.finbrain.tech), a REST API (v2), a Python SDK (pip install finbrain-python), and a Model Context Protocol integration (pip install finbrain-mcp) that exposes datasets to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT via natural language. Entity-matching, ticker mapping, and normalization are pre-completed, and the company advertises a 99.9% API uptime SLA for Enterprise subscribers. A platform-wide redesign launched in December 2025 introduced API v2 and MCP, followed by March 2026 additions of Geopolitical Risk Monitoring, Fixed Income, Commodities, Currencies, and Crypto dashboards.

The business model is subscription-based with three tiers: Terminal at $99/month or $990/year, Terminal + API + MCP at $499/month or $4,990/year, and Enterprise with custom pricing that bundles redistribution rights, AI/LLM training rights, dedicated account management, on-premise deployment, and white-label solutions. Distribution is exclusively digital, combining self-serve product-led growth for individuals with API-first developer adoption and direct enterprise sales for funds, platforms, and institutional teams. The company has operated for over eight years as a private, bootstrapped entity with 1-10 employees, founded by Ahmet Salim Bilgin, and is headquartered at 99 Wall Street, New York.
