Bipsync Organizes Your Financial Research

Monday, November 24, 2014 10:12:00 AM PDT | VentureDeal



If you're an investor or financial analyst, chances are you encounter a lot of unstructured information while evaluating potential investments or companies. Unstructured information in the form of tweets, notes, links to articles, reports and comments.

Bipsync is a startup that aims to organize that information in a single place and help users in the process.

The company just closed on a $1.5 million financing round to execute on that vision.

In testing out the service, I found it easy to sign up for and begin using, as it provides a good on-boarding tour, showing users how the system works.

Think Evernote, only purpose-build for the financial sector, with user-defined tag categories on the left and a full text editor on the right of the screen.





In fact, the system specifically allows users to import their Evernote data and collaborate/share with team members.

Data services bring in stock quotes for publicly traded companies as well, and pre-defined templates are also provided.

I talked with Bipsync's founder and CEO Danny Donado to get a sense of where they see themselves in the market space (edited for space):

VentureDeal: What is the market space you are operating in?

Donado: This is really about knowledge management - managing the investing process for unstructured information.

VentureDeal: Where is Bipsync in its development?

Donado: We currently have 5 reference customers and believe we have early product/market fit. One of those customers, Steadfast Financial, became a significant investor in this funding round after using the service.

VentureDeal: What does Bipsync want to be for users?

Donado: We want to be the "2nd screen" that investors and analysts use to pull together all of their unstructured information.

VentureDeal: What is your go-to-market model?

Donado: We're feeling it out a bit and know we can make the direct sales model work. But we want to first try the lower-touch, online model. We've built a consumer friendly, intuitive service.

VentureDeal: How are you using the proceeds from this $1.5 million financing?

Donado: We are focused on customer success and hiring additional account managers, while continuing to build out functionality.

VentureDeal: What are your expansion plans?

Donado: We are currently New York-based and focused, since there is a large existing market of financial service opportunities here. Our development team is actually based in the UK, so we have obvious expansion possibilities there the future.
