Launch YC: finbar: your AI financial data analyst

"Eliminate manual data entry. Update financial models in seconds."

TLDR: Too many analysts across finance still rely on manually collecting and compiling data for their models - finbar is here to completely automate that process. Several multi-billion AUM hedge funds already use them for exactly that - but if you work with financial data in any capacity, they want to help!

Founded by Edward Huang & Robin Gan

Ed was a hedge fund analyst at Balyasny, and before that was at Goldman Sachs. He solo-founded finbar up to first revenue and now leads product and commerce. He is a CFA charterholder.

Robin was a software engineer at Thought Machine, working on a globally deployed cloud-native banking platform. He now leads the finbar tech effort.

They have been close friends for 13 years, through school, then Oxford, then as roommates in London – and of course now as co-founders!

Why can they do this better than others? Financial data is inherently very messy – they have spent more than a year building a highly bespoke pipeline geared for financial data: numeric algorithms, text processing, OCR, LLMs, and more. This means in minutes they can provide complete series data from any set of documents: PDFs, Excels, websites, scans, etc.

finbar also understand the financial domain intimately well – their starting point has always been to build something that would have saved them hours per day as hedge fund analysts.
