The problem I'm solving is the lack of visibility that hedge funds have into who they are paying for research and why. Many firms use rudimentary software to track research providers while contracts auto-renew and inadvertently lapse into new cycles, causing an expensive problem.  

Provanah's software helps hedge funds effectively manage research by doing two powerful things:

1. It captures data that meaningfully impacts the research initiative
2. It 'paints a picture in numbers' of the accomplishments of the individual or team that runs the initiative 

Provanah provides: 

• Dashboards that include high-level data points 

• A contract overview showing the firm's research commitments
• Key analysts of each research provider
• License tracking to gauge how many are actually being used
• Research and payment preferences of investment teams
• Key points on how the Director of Research has impacted the firm's bottom line
• Scale. The software grows as hedge funds grow.

This product is for the person who manages independent research at hedge funds including:

C-Suite members (CFO, COO, CCO, CAO),

Directors of Research

Head Traders

Broker Liaisons.

My name is Tai Docarmo and I am the Founder & CEO of Provanah.

I was a Broker Liaison at a hedge fund, and was my own customer.  Having been in the investment industry for over 10 years, with over 5 years at hedge funds, I experienced first-hand, the lack of logistics available to manage a research initiative. It was like trying to get somewhere knowing an app like Google Maps exists, but not having access to it.  I realized that an easier, faster, and more cost effective way of managing research was possible. So, I built it.

Software development is not cheap but we have committed our own funds toward an MVP product and have received positive feedback from the industry. 

Your contributions go toward customizing the Dashboards, Profiles, and Budget areas to make Provanah even better.  Good is never enough!  We will also create targeted marketing campaigns during this Beta phase.  We need to get in front of as many hedge funds as possible. 

So, come join the mission to solve this expensive problem for the hedge fund industry and bring this app to market!

Thanks for your support!
