Build the investing workbench
Finapolis is the investing workbench: research, valuation, options scenarios, portfolio analytics, and tax workflow on one surface, built for serious self-directed investors. We are a small team and we hire deliberately. If that sounds like a problem worth your time, we want to hear from you.
What we are building
Serious investing tools come in two shapes today. On one end, Bloomberg-class terminals that start around $24,000 a year and are built for institutions. On the other, free consumer apps that are easy to open and stay shallow. Finapolis is the workbench in between: one surface for sophisticated self-directed investors who currently patch together several subscriptions or do without.
5 modules share one context, your portfolio. Screener to find names. Analyzer for valuation and scenarios. Reporter for institutional-quality research where every claim is sourced. Trader to build and stress-test options positions. Portfolio to tie it together with analytics and tax workflow.
Whatever tool someone uses today, Finapolis does that, then adds the workflows around it and anchors them to the portfolio. The hard part is integration: each module has to stand on its own and compound when used with the others. That is the work, and most of it is still unsolved.
How we work
The habits we hire for and hold each other to.
Show your work
Every number in a Finapolis report traces back to a filing, a feed, or a calculation a user can open. We hold our own decisions to the same standard. No source, no claim.
Help people think
We give investors the data, the math, and the assumptions, then leave the call to them. The goal is conviction in their own thesis, not a recommendation to follow.
A high bar for correctness
Our research informs real allocation decisions. We screen, benchmark, and validate before we ship. We would rather be slower than ship something we cannot defend.
Own it end to end
The team is small, and deliberately so. Everyone here works across research, code, design, and conversations with the investors who use the product.
What we look for
We care more about substance than credentials. A few things we look for:
- Depth in finance or finance-adjacent systems. Quant research, sell-side or buy-side analytics, brokerage infrastructure, or the data plumbing underneath them.
- Strong technical foundations. Distributed systems, LLM and agent evaluation, financial modeling, or interface design for power users.
- A high bar for correctness. We ship research that moves real money. You should be uncomfortable shipping anything you cannot defend.
- Comfort with ambiguity. The team is small and the category is still being defined. You will help define it.
No open roles posted right now
We are a small team and we hire when we meet someone who raises the bar, not on a fixed schedule. If your background fits the work above, reach out anyway. The best introductions rarely line up with a job posting.
