“OpenBB is a disruptor in a sector that has historically had high barriers for access to good quality financial data and tools. Their open source community really is at the heart of their mission to making investment research accessible to everyone. I am fortunate and excited to be part of their journey!”

“No one ships features faster than OpenBB. The way the team responds to user feedback is unlike anything I've seen in my 20+ year career. A handful of firms have a monopoly on the world's financial data. That changes with OpenBB.”
