Company
EdotEnv
Self-improving quant agents from market data.
We build research harnesses, evaluation benchmarks, and post-training environments for reinforcement learning and time series agent research. Our platform, EdotEnv, turns markets into self-improving environments for quantitative AI agents. Frontier AI labs and academic groups use us to test, iterate, and advance the state of the art in agent training, especially for RSI-level capability. We give them the infrastructure to run real, high-signal experiments with quant data.
San Francisco, CA, USA. The company will stay based here after YC.
San Francisco is the center of AI research and the core market for our users - most frontier labs and active academic research groups are here. Being local lets us build tighter feedback loops with early users.
