“The majority of things we do today – covering 1,200+ companies, more than 2,500 KPIs, leveraging 60 different data sets, and running tens of thousands of models every day – would not be possible without the tools Visible Alpha has built.”

– Qaisar Hasan, founder and CEO, Maiden Century

The Challenge

Maiden Century was born to solve a significant problem in the financial services industry – obtaining, organizing, synthesizing and extracting insights from an avalanche of alternative data critical to the investment research process.

This process, which was primarily manual, required hundreds of hours of collecting, organizing, and inputting data into cumbersome Excel sheets and proprietary platforms. It was then repeated all over again each quarterly earnings cycle.

The result was a time consuming and often costly method of extracting critical data that couldn’t scale and deliver real-time insights and value, requirements vital to compete on the Street.

The Solution

Maiden Century automated this entire process by engineering data feeds that map to critical KPIs and financial metrics to run forecasting models in real-time and at scale.

To benchmark against the Street, they turned to Visible Alpha. With Visible Alpha data integrated via APIs and Snowflake, Maiden Century was able to benchmark every single forecast against its granular – not just headline – consensus data.

Visible Alpha’s granular consensus forecasts enables Maiden Century to align its data to Street expectations to illustrate where its data leads to a differentiated view relative to the market. Visible Alpha Insights also helps Maiden Century draw a mosaic of how key company data relates to alternative data.
