I am not quite clear on what your question is. We simplify hard to find research into bite-sized formats so people don't have to sift through 100 page SEC filings and complex earnings reports. Currently, there's no way of having this information be readily accessible, especially for young people.

Currently, we are seeing that retail investors aren't doing any research at all, especially young people are relying on social media and memes to make investment choices which can be dangerous. EBITDA is important and it's a hard concept to understand for those who aren't familiar with finance - that's why we offer digestible insights to make it accessible. Analyst reports are very long to sift through and most people don't want to spend the time. That's why we opted for swipable cards of information so users don't feel the hassle of "doing research."The other platforms aren't mobile first and do not offer this ease of use and accessibility to non-financially savvy individuals.

Definitely, we derive data from ISS (https://www.issgovernance.com/) to show the policies and goals in place for environmental impact.

We derive data from ISS to show the transparency and impact policies companies have in place. We break this down into three categories: impact on our 1) environment 2) workplace and 3) society. Currently, we are launching with 50 popular stocks.

Understand your concern that's why we offer as much insight as possible to push value based investing rather than simply following the hype.
