A new tool for investors, bridging the gap between consumer spending health and the stock market.

I couldn’t be more excited to officially welcome you to Signals. A tool for investors, that translates shifts in consumer spend into early market signals. After years of working behind the scenes in the consumer insights space, we’re finally ready to bring our game-changing investment platform to you, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built.

How did we get here?

We’ve worked in the consumer insights space for almost 8 years now, and our tech has reached 150 million US consumers, accruing $70B+ in transactional spend. This has primed us with incredible insights to accurately predict consumer behavior. Our insights and predictions products drive sales, reduce costs and provide actionable insights to Brands, Retailers and Wall Street. Now it’s time to democratize this data, and make our insights available for all.

The ability to track consumer behavior in real time provides a powerful edge.

Watching the evolution of the data we’ve collected, we realized we’ve captured something exceptionally rate. Insights that go far beyond the usual investing tools. Signals taps into live transactional data from almost 30 million credit and debit cards across North America, giving us unparalleled access to insights into hundreds of the market’s most-watched stocks.

Our team of analysts have spent the past year turning this powerful data into a platform where these insights are aggregated into a streamlined experience, helping our members identify early trends and act before the wider market catches on. We’ve now stress tested across a spectrum of experts, hedge fund managers, experienced day traders, and are thrilled to be able to present to you the first look at Signals.

Why now?

The need for real-time, actionable data has never been more urgent. With market volatility at an all-time high, reacting to outdated information isn’t enough. The traditional tools of financial analysts and news reports are reactive, telling us what has already happened, and for many of us that comes at the cost of panic selling. Signals provides live data on consumer behavior, allowing our members to capitalize on opportunities the moment they arise, before they’ve been priced into the market.

The Signals Insider Circle

We’re keeping the initial membership list to 1,000 members, an exclusive and high value circle of investors. With a price point of only $100, we not only want to provide value for our first members, our ‘Insider Circle’, but their feedback will be integral to the development and expansion of our service. Asking for feedback every step of the way, building a platform for investors curated by investors will be front and central to our product roadmap. Insider circle members will have $100 a month lifetime access.

Access is now open

The early access phase for Signals is now open, and spots are extremely limited. We’re offering these early subscriptions to a select group of investors to ensure that our insights remain exclusive and powerful for everyone involved. In early 2025 we will reopen our doors at a higher price point to reflect the development of the services features and tools. I would love to bring you along as one of the founding members of Signals. Sign up to our newsletter [here] and in the coming weeks, and you’ll get a first look at some of the insights we’re uncovering.
