Seeking Alpha is a crowd-sourced content service for financial markets. Articles and research cover a broad range of stocks, asset classes, exchange-traded funds, and investment strategies. Unlike other equity research platforms, insight is provided by contributors including a base of investors and industry experts rather than the sell side.
Who owns Seeking Alpha?
David Jackson, Founder, and CEO, of Seeking Alpha. started Seeking Alpha after working for Morgan Stanley as an equity research analyst in New York during the tech bubble. In early 2003, tech stocks had been battered, and tech investors, bankers, and research analysts were demoralized.
At the same time, new technologies were creating the possibility of a different approach to equity research, based on crowdsourcing and community. David left Morgan Stanley and immediately started working on Seeking Alpha. I’m passionate about building a product that enriches our subscribers’ lives, and a platform that provides opportunities for our contributors. he says
