{"id":92883,"title":"Astor: Your Personal AI Investment Analyst","tagline":"Astor supercharges research for individual investors","body":"Hey 👋, we’re Bruno and Daniel, the founders of Astor.\n\n**TL;DR:**\n\nAstor is your personal AI investment analyst. It gives you the same market tracking, deep research, and real-time alerts that institutional investors rely on, now built for your portfolio.\n\n**The problem**\n\nRetail investors are fundamentally disadvantaged compared to professionals.\n\nInstitutional investors have teams of analysts tracking markets in real time, digging into data, and flagging opportunities before anyone else. Retail investors, meanwhile, have to piece together brokerages, news sites, and forums.\n\nThese tools haven’t changed in 15 years. In the U.S., 61% of adults — over 160 million people — own stocks, yet more than half say they don’t feel confident in their investment decisions. \n\nWe’re building Astor to level the playing field.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/kFdGUuZ86uA?si=p6NZpPT6hkgxbKgi\u003e\n\n**How does it work?**\n\nAstor is your personal AI investment analyst. It monitors markets 24/7, filters out noise, and delivers only the insights that matter for your portfolio. That could mean:\n\n* Spot catalysts before they hit the mainstream: e.g., flag unusual insider activity on a stock you own hours before it trends.\n* Deliver deep, tailored research: pull together data, filings, and expert commentary into concise, decision-ready briefs on any company or theme you care about.\n* Test and validate your ideas: run “what if” scenarios and uncover supporting or contradicting market data before you act.\n\nIt’s like having a Wall Street-grade analyst in your pocket — one that never sleeps, never misses a headline, and tailors everything to your holdings.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=92883\u0026key=user_uploads/1775091/4b7be896-ff26-47c0-834f-664eebfae195)\n\n**Who’s it for?**\n\nAny active investor who wants to move from reactive guesswork to deliberate, confident decision-making. \n\n**Backstory**\n\nWe’re two Brazilian fintech builders from São Paulo.\n\n* Bruno was a data scientist at Nubank, building machine learning models that impacted millions, and later a fintech investor at Monashees.\n* Daniel was a software engineer at Stripe, Robinhood, and Amazon, creating production-ready AI agents and scaling systems during meme stock booms and volatile markets.\n\nWe’ve seen both sides — the institutional edge and the retail struggle — and we’re building Astor to close that gap.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=92883\u0026key=user_uploads/1775091/e6d09b90-5d81-4a6a-bca0-1a22cc1ed668)\n\n**Ask**\n\nIf you invest, try Astor and tell us what you think.
