AlgoBit - One Pager
1. Business Summary
AlgoBit is an algorithmic-based Nostro-Trading firm, that uses big data and machine
learning algorithms to trade in the largest crypto-currency exchanges in the world. Like
crypto exchanges, our algorithms are on 24/7 finding profitable opportunities for our
capital.
Opportunity
Algorithmic trading is responsible for a large portion of the volume in current financial
markets. Crypto-Currency is by nature very suitable for algorithmic trading (freely avail-
able data, no middle men, minimal fees). Currently, there is no corporate presence in this
trading arena. In the next two years, we want to become a dominant player as this market
gains more traction.
AlgoBit
1. Trading algorithms - Machine learning based algorithms that are able to profit in
market uptrend and downtrend. A dedicated market making algorithm and an inter-
exchange arbitrage. All algorithms were tested live with real money
2. Data-mining system - High quality data since January 2015 from the leading
exchanges and news websites.
3. Execution system - High performance order execution system with an effective risk
management strategy. Generic and easy to scale-up.
AlgoBit Performance
Market
Trading volume has doubled from 2013 to 2014 and significant growth trend continued in
2015. In addition, the derivatives market (futures, margin) has reached maturity. Bitcoin
related startups raised over $200M in VC investment in Q1 2015, from which, regulated
crypto-currency exchanges raised over $100M (Andreessen Horowitz, New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE), Canaan Partners, RRE Ventures, Richard Branson etc.).
Why do we raise money?
Achieve operational profitability by house trading. We’ll accomplish it by upgrading and
scaling-up our trading systems to be able to manage a large fund.
