#12Does this have any relation to the world-famous restaurant, sometimes in the past ranked as the #1 restaurant in the world, of the same name?
No, not organizationally related to the restaurant.

Spot on!
I'm looking forward for the day money/value will based on not only on what you provide/create but also on how much that impacts all the connected things to make that happen.

it is obvious that considering environmental effect is the next parameter in company evaluation. We can even call it capitalism 2.o maybe. We just don't have the model yet.

#16Shouldn't "Show HN" rules also apply to "Launch HN"?
"Off topic: ... sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead."

This looks like an awesome product, but kind of annoying to see a "Launch" but it's just a waitlist. Why not wait until Monday?

Yes, Alinea means a new way of doing something,for us, it's a new way of investing!
Why on earth would you name a fintech company after a world-famous restaurant? Bonkers...

#20I assume you are leaning heavily on some kind of natural language processing to automatically extract this information from SEC filings and earnings reports. That's a great idea. I just hope that you're being very very careful about the generalizability of your models & their performance over time.
Obviously 99% of the work in buidling such a system is just getting access to all the data and setting up the ETL pipelines, and that alone is value worth paying for.
I'm also a bit confused by this part:
We wanted to build an experience without the hassle and complexity of charts and financial jargon.
Yes, there are some funny terms like EBITDA out there, but ultimately this is all just part of doing due diligence. If you want to make a medium-term or long-term investment (i.e. you're not gambling on short-term options), you gotta look at that stuff.
And if I don't want to do it myself, I can log onto Schwab, Ameritrade, Fidelity, etc. and get 5-10 analyst reports on pretty much any ticker, including an "in-house" grade (e.g. "this stock has an overall D rating") that, theoretically, is all I need to know for making that kind of investment. I'm curious (not doubtful, just curious) what you offer that's better than this.
