FIRE Investment

Fire wants to be the one-stop platform for investors to manage their portfolios cross-platform, aggregating also social and traditional media using our AI algorithms to customize users experience

Currently in Pre-seed round, we are in the product development phase.
We are supported by FoolFarm, a deep tech venture builder which will support us untile the Seed Round (end 2022).
The focus on our first year will be on 2 modules: Portfolio and Information aggregation, with a B2B go-to-market strategy

- B2B: Financial Institutions, in particular those which offer investment services
- B2C:
> Early adopter: current investors, under 50 years old [1.1M people in Italy]
> General adopter: investors, every age [15M people in Italy, 160M in Europe, 100% in 2020]

The general market is estimated at $ 25T with 6% CAGR. Niches like wealth management and crypto are worth respectively $ 1.1T (10% CAGR) and $ 3T.

In the last decade the FS have changed, 4 major trends:
- Democratization: lower fees for everyone
- Decentralization: crypto and DeFi
- Social wisdom: the rise of social media (e.g. GameStop case, Twitter crypto Team)
- Open Finance: by 2024 the EU will complete its OF framework

But a problem has risen from all of this: extreme fragmentation within the FS.

FIRE will be the first Financial Engagement Platform: allowing users to access the entire financial ecosystem in a new way.
Not only end-to-end access to their finances, but access to traditional and social media information as well.
