About Prodigy Research
Summary
Prodigy Research trains a foundation model purpose-built for quantitative trading and deploys it as a proprietary autonomous trading system in live financial markets. The lab targets alpha generation across global equities, replacing the manual research and signal development that human quant teams perform at traditional trading firms. Its co-founders bring hands-on experience training state-of-the-art models at Google DeepMind and Jane Street.
Go-to-market
Prodigy operates as a proprietary trading research lab, trading its own capital directly in live markets rather than selling a product to external customers.
