PNN

What PNN does

PNN (Predictive Neural Nets), operating legally as yeswici.com LLC, is a Maryland-headquartered financial technology company founded in 2010 that has developed proprietary deep learning technology for predicting financial asset price trends, branded as Trendspotting AI®. The company has operated in stealth mode for 14 years, building intellectual property — including a registered PNN® patent covering predictive neural network methods and systems — while iterating on a four-product suite: PNN Table Monthly (the flagship subscription delivering AI-ranked asset recommendations for ETF funds and managed accounts), PNN Cloud (an AI-BigData-Cloud platform enabling automated training and validation of deep learning models for individual asset price prediction), PNN Chart Daily (a visualization tool surfacing predicted future trends for buy/sell timing), and PNN BBP (a stock buyback plan optimization module for corporate executives). The underlying architecture is described as the "ABC" (AI-BigData-Cloud) framework, and the founding team combines academic finance credentials from Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, and the Wharton School at UPenn, supplemented by venture advisors Corum and Blu Venture Advisors.

The company serves two customer segments. The primary segment is institutional asset managers of financial institutions, who use PNN Table and Chart Daily to rank and grade assets for portfolio optimization. A secondary segment comprises corporate CEOs and finance leaders, who deploy PNN BBP to plan and optimize stock buyback programs aimed at improving EPS, P/E ratios, and stock performance. Distribution is conducted through a consultative, direct enterprise sales motion: institutional investors are directed to email to request sample tables and schedule appointments. Revenue mechanics are subscription-based and monthly recurring for the flagship PNN Table product, with cloud services and add-on modules contributing supplementary streams.

Material information gaps constrain any competitive or financial assessment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; no customers are named (the sole testimonial is the generic "We like the stealth mode — Asset Managers"); no revenue, headcount, funding, or partnership data beyond the venture advisor relationship is available; and the company's website copyright extends only to 2017, with no subsequent press, content cadence, or third-party validation evident in the source material. These gaps, combined with the 14-year stealth posture, suggest either a deliberately low-profile commercial deployment or limited commercial traction — a distinction that cannot be resolved from public information alone.
