Numerai

Numerai is a hedge fund built on crowdsourced machine learning: thousands of anonymous data scientists submit models trained on encrypted, obfuscated data, and Numerai aggregates them into a single meta-model that drives its portfolio, with participants staking cryptocurrency on their predictions. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, Numerai is one of the most genuinely novel structures in quantitative investing — a fund whose signal is assembled from a global tournament of anonymous quants.
