The Investor's pain

Equity research & determining valuation risk is slow, costly and fragmented, leading to shallow decisions and missed alpha.

Time

  • Investors face up 6 hours to go from ticker → thesis → valuation + risks
  • Manual cross-referencing across PDFs, portals and spreadsheets

Cost

  • Multiple subscriptions > €3K/yr for data, screening, news, filings, etc.
  • Paywalls + duplicate features = wasted budget

Explainability

  • Black-box outputs with AI hallucinations & lack of repeatability for LLMs
  • For traditional information providers like Morningstar, TIKR, Yahoo Finance, etc. a lot of data but no visual or poor interpretation help & no AI companion

Vinley is live and already in users' hands

Fully functional web application with users, research workflows and subscription tier offering:

Speed

From 6 to hours to 20 seconds, instant investment insights, no more tab-hopping or manual digging.

Depth

60 Markets+ Intangibles + Fraud flags + Macroeconomics

Deep coverage across global equities, ETFs, Brand intelligence, macro indicators, all in one place.

Clarity

Clear, easily interpretable and multilingual insights built on quality data, no noise, no jargon, just what matters.

Why is

different

General purpose LLMs

  • Require strong prompting skills (including to build .md skills in Anthropic Claude)
  • Text first modality
  • Broad knowledge, limited domain UX
  • No dedicated retail-investor stack with outdated results between 1 to 6 quarters for LLMs (cf. Vinley quarterly benchmark)

Vinley

  • Vertical app & AI For investing built by investors
  • Designed for users with a permanent educational angle & for investment analysis and valuation risk
  • Hybrid human-machine interface → we believe in mixed modality like Canva & Gamma → confirmed by observing our users prompt & brain processing time of information across modalities
  • Visual interpretation and repeatable analysis workflows
  • One-stop shop across stocks, ETFs, crypto & 60+ markets
  • Trust, explainability and repeatable decision support
  • Unique features like Forensic Accounting signals

Go-to-market: focused and capital-efficient

Target audience: Active investors and finance native audience.

Phase 1:

Product-Led B2C Growth

Acquire → Convert → Retain


  • Acquisition Channels: LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, SEO, Courses (9.5K organic users)
  • Engine : Content factory + Education ( Scalable)
  • Conversion : Free-to-paid conversion via product


Why our choice of B2C ? Shorter sales cycle and presales effort, less buying personas involved, no need for integration & customisation while obviously more difficult to grasp, lower compliance requirements.


Phase 2:

Creator & Partner Expansion

Partner → Distribute → Scale


  • Finfluencers
  • Small B2B institutions (asset managers, financial advisors) accessing Vinley Pro or through MCP/API capabilities (B2B2C)
  • Universities (long-term user funnel for professionals)

The Vinley-2 roadmap

This round is a focused acceleration : funding development sprint across five high-impact product pillars, while deepening the ML foundation.

Radar (September 2026) (partially delivered in June 2026)

Bringing Vinley hot stocks, hot prompts and anonymised portfolio trends & movements across all users to individual users (automation of network effects visible to users)

Mastery UNIQUE FEATURE! (December 2026)

In-product learning layer and gamification with experience points (XP) and levels including skills & talent trees — building investor literacy alongside research

This funding boosts ML for financial report analysis, strengthening Vinley’s explainability and forensic depth. Together, these advances move Vinley from 1.2 to 2.0, a major leap in intelligence, depth, and scale

The moat is the methodology

Vinley's competitive advantage is a deliberately constructed research process built on our own 25+ years
experience as stock investors

1

Research Workflow Design

Structured investment workflows built into the product — not a generic chat. An interface layer with AI actions.

2

Explainability Layer

Every output is repeatable — built for reliability & trust investors, avoiding AI hallucinations.

3

Financial Data Intelligence

Proprietary parsing of financial statements, forensic signals and structured data — trained on real investment-grade tasks.

4

Accumulated Research Depth

As users engage, Vinley builds a proprietary layer of research patterns, flagging methodologies and usage data that generic tools cannot replicate or access.

Currently human supervised learning but objective to go unsupervised learning
