Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Autonomous research agents for traders.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building AI-powered agents that autonomously research and generate actionable trading signals. Ekpa's bots scan financial data, synthesize research, and provide traders with ideas they otherwise couldn't find alone. We want to make systematic research and smarter trading accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in Boston, MA, and will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Boston is a strong fintech and academic hub, and it's where we're already working from. The time zone overlap with YC is manageable.
