Alpha 2.0 Challenge — A Quantum Leap in Investment Strategy

The Alpha 2.0 Challenge turns the traditional proprietary trading model on its head – whereas most of the industry is an exclusive club that draws on the talents of a select few, Alpha 2.0 draws on the unparalleled wisdom of an open marketplace of ideas.

Just as happened to the technology sector in the 90’s, the financial sector is learning that old-fashioned, insular ways of thinking will not deliver long-term results.

We are bringing the open-source model to trading based on our firm belief that enlightened team trial and error will always succeed over the efforts of the lone genius.

We assembled the technological, financial, legal, and logistical infrastructure to conduct large-scale black box trading operations – we now want to make that platform available to the best minds and ideas in the world.

Are you up for the Challenge?
