About StackAlpha.io

We turn expert conversations into actionable investment intelligence—so you can make better decisions faster.

Why We Built StackAlpha

As an investor, I spent countless hours listening to podcasts like Acquired, All-In, and Invest like the best. The content was incredible—deep strategic insights from founders, investors, and operators at the top of their game.

But there was a problem: the best investment insights were buried in 2-3 hour conversations. By the time I'd listened, taken notes, and connected the dots to specific tickers and catalysts, markets had often moved on.

I realized the alpha wasn't in having access to these conversations—everyone can listen to podcasts. The alpha was in extracting actionable insights quickly and connecting them to specific investment opportunities before they're priced in.

StackAlpha was born from this problem. We built the tool I wished existed—one that analyzes expert conversations, extracts investment-relevant insights, and delivers them within 24 hours with specific tickers, conviction levels, and catalysts.

Our Philosophy

"The best investment insights aren't in financial reports—they're in conversations between smart people."

We believe the future of investment research isn't just analyzing public filings and earnings calls—it's extracting signal from the exponentially growing universe of expert conversations happening in podcasts, interviews, and long-form discussions.

Traditional research is backward-looking (analyzing what already happened). Podcast conversations are forward-looking (strategic thinking about what's coming). That's where alpha lives.

Our mission is to democratize access to this alternative intelligence layer—making insights that were previously only available to those who could afford to spend 10+ hours per week listening to podcasts accessible to any serious investor.

Who We Are

Built by Investors, For Investors

StackAlpha was founded by tech-savvy investors with extensive experience building and scaling large systems. Our team's background includes:

  • Building and scaling enterprise systems handling 45+ billion daily requests
  • Leading engineering teams across distributed systems and security infrastructure
  • Deep expertise in AI/ML, threat intelligence, and large-scale data processing
  • Active investing in technology, infrastructure, and contrarian opportunities

We combine technical expertise in AI and distributed systems with real investment experience—which means we understand both the technology and what investors actually need.

Our Methodology

StackAlpha uses advanced AI analysis powered by cutting-edge language models to extract investment insights from expert conversations. Here's how it works:

1. Source Selection

We monitor 50+ top investment podcasts including Acquired, All-In, Invest Like the Best, Dwarkesh Patel, and Capital Allocators. We focus on conversations with founders, investors, and operators who have unique insights into markets, companies, and trends.

2. AI-Powered Analysis

Our AI system analyzes full transcripts to identify investment-relevant insights. Unlike simple summarization, we're looking for:

  • Strategic shifts that aren't yet priced into markets
  • Contrarian viewpoints that challenge consensus thinking
  • Specific catalysts with timing and dates
  • Risk factors and probability assessments

3. Investment Framework

Every report includes our proprietary investment framework:

  • Conviction Rating: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on insight quality and actionability
  • Specific Tickers: Companies mentioned with investment thesis
  • Time Horizon: When the opportunity is likely to play out
  • Catalysts: Specific events with dates (earnings, product launches, regulatory decisions)
  • Risk Assessment: What could go wrong and probability estimates
  • Contrarian View: What the market is missing or mispricing

4. Quality Control

Every report is reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and actionability. We prioritize quality over quantity—not every podcast generates a report, only those with genuine investment insights.

What Makes StackAlpha Different

Not Another Podcast Summary Service

We're not summarizing episodes—we're extracting investable alpha. Every report answers: "What specific action can I take based on this insight, with what conviction, and when?"

Speed Matters

We publish within 24 hours of episode release. In efficient markets, the edge goes to those who act on insights before they're widely known. By the time most investors finish listening, you've already read our analysis.

Contrarian by Design

We specifically look for insights that challenge consensus thinking. The market already knows what's obvious—we help you find what's being overlooked or mispriced.

Built by Investors Who Use It

We built StackAlpha to solve our own problem. We invest based on these insights. Our incentives are aligned with yours—we succeed when you find alpha.

Our Values

Quality Over Quantity

We only publish reports when there's genuine alpha to extract. Not every podcast generates investment insights—and that's okay.

Speed Without Sacrifice

24-hour turnaround doesn't mean rushed analysis. We use AI to process information quickly while maintaining analytical rigor.

Intellectual Honesty

We include conviction levels and risk assessments in every report. We're transparent about uncertainty and what could go wrong.

Continuous Improvement

We're constantly refining our analysis methodology based on what works. We learn from both our successes and our misses.
