Hi Michael and Aaron,

I'm the co-founder and CEO of PsychSignal (https://psychsignal.com)

PsychSignal is a provider of real time 'Trader Mood' data, analytics and indices for financial institutions & investment professionals seeking an edge.

Essentially we've built the next generation squawkbox. When I was a trader back in the day we used to use one of those old school squawk-boxes connected to the S&P Futures pit in Chicago. A guy would call the market all day long and you'd get a great feel as to where the market was going just based on the mood of the announcer and the mood of the crowd you could hear in the back ground. Fast forward to today, no more pits, but traders are online and they are talking... a lot. Voila PsychSignal.

Besides fundraising which is a challenge for everyone on here I'm sure, our concern is strategy, specifically growth. We've relied on our instincts in much of the creation of PsychSignal and growth is something we have restrained purposefully. We are in it for the long haul. To us the fin-tech space is a special beast one where new technology adopts slowly and reputation is hard won over a long period of time. This really goes counter to everything you read on here so it's always a lingering doubt for us. Wondering your thoughts. Thanks for your time!
