Great write up & very accurate detailing of the problem. While I was head of growth @ Kalshi (YC19) you would be shocked to discover how much we spent on data licensing.
> But, I started to get an idea of why there aren't great apps from indie developers focused on the stock market: getting quality financial market data is a nightmare. The good data you need for commercial use will cost $2,000/mon to start.
>I wouldn't ship an app with unreliable or inaccurate data. It never met my quality bar.
Stammys data challenges really resonated with me as I work to solve this problem for betting markets (instead of stock markets) with my new startup wagerapi.com

Vonnegut is the author that I wish I was, and was a major influence on my reading, thinking and creating. Strongly recommend picking up a few of his novels, you wont be able to put them down. My favorites are Slaughterhouse Five, Cats Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

As an aside, this is how you do content marketing. Really timely and topical post, and sprinkled product tid bits in without feeling like an over sell.
