Founder here: YC actually had an "AI hedge fund" idea in one of their recent "request for startups" post. We've been working on evaluating the capabilities of frontier models in investing money in the stock market. Results are encouraging and we're not doubling down on it.

Happy to answer any questions.

Personally I believe LLM-assisted trading is destined to underperform passive indices, so I also would have moved on from this. But you say results were promising, so I'm interested to hear why you're not pursuing it further. Is it just that you have other things to focus on? Is there something else that's making you move on?

How difficult would it be to do the same for the crypto world? I love the concept.
