Founded: 2014
Also honored in: 2021 Best Tech Startups in Reno
“Tickeron is a web-based, interactive Financial Marketplace. Our company has developed state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) that can optimize portfolios based on asset allocation and stock selection, and that can also identify dozens of technical trading patterns for thousands of stocks. Our A.I. can be used to generate investment ideas or to recommend changes to investment strategies.
The advent of our proprietary A.I. led to the creation of the Diversification Score®. The Diversification Score® is the credit score of investing — just as a credit score will provide its owner with a clear and thorough understanding of their credit standing, so will a Diversification Score® inform the investor how optimally (or sub-optimally) their portfolio is allocated. For simplicity, the Diversification Score® uses the same scale as the credit score (400-850).”
