Arcana Analytics is an organisation ran by six people specialised in different fields relating to the startup world. We see content creators as strong and efficient alternatives to traditional marketing and also as a way of people expressing themselves artistically. We work in order to provide these creators with the knowledge, material and contacts to make it in the entertainment industry. By investing time and resources on artists, gamers, reviewers and musicians we create a community of creators that are aware of the value of their content.

Arcana enables institutional investors to understand their portfolio risks, decompose single stock & book performance, drill into crowding, and isolate their idiosyncratic differentiation. Built on our proprietary crowding, ownership, factor risk, and performance datasets. The company’s seed round was led by Duquesne (Stan Druckenmiller), Tiger Global, Abstract Ventures, GoldenTree Asset Management, Ryan Roslansky (CEO LinkedIn), Akshay Kothari (COO Notion), and many other strategic angels.

On a mission to create trust with every financial transaction, Truework provides a one-stop, customizable platform for income and employment verification that is more efficient, accurate, and secure. We protect consumers by providing transparency and control into how sensitive employee data is shared, while helping thousands each day get approved faster for loans, mortgages, and other important financial transactions.
