What LB HEDGE does

HedgeFollow is a web-based data aggregation and analytics platform that tracks SEC filing activity (13F, 13G, 13D, and Form 4) for hedge funds, institutional investors, corporate insiders, and US Congress members. The platform covers 10,000+ hedge funds and 100K+ insiders, having corrected over 1 million errors in raw fund filings through systematic data cleaning. Products include core trackers (Hedge Fund Tracker, Insider Trading Tracker, Congress Stock Tracker), analytics tools (Stock Screener, Portfolio Builder, Portfolio Balancer, Compare Stocks), consensus and AI-driven stock picks, and ETF activity tracking across Bitcoin, Gold, Silver, and Oil instruments.

The company operates a freemium product-led growth model. Basic access is free and ad-supported, while a premium subscription at $10/month removes ads and unlocks enhanced features and data exports. Users self-serve through the web platform without sales interaction, and distribution is driven primarily by SEO-optimized educational content including a Hedge Funds 101 guide, wiki documentation, and SEC filing explainers. The platform serves retail and individual investors as the primary segment, with secondary segments including financial professionals and academic researchers.

HedgeFollow is a privately held company with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or executive team information. It operates globally with no geographic restrictions, though its data sources are exclusively US SEC filings. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the business model relies entirely on the freemium subscription with no identified enterprise tier, API access, or data licensing revenue streams.
