Numerai is an AI-run, crowd-sourced hedge fund based in San Francisco[1]. It was created by South African technologist Richard Craib[1] in October 2015[2]. Its primary competitors are other open source trading platforms mainly QuantConnect, Quantopian & WorldQuant.
Numerai’s trades are determined by an AI, which is fueled by a network of thousands of anonymous data scientists[3][4].
Numerai's investment group was led by Howard Morgan of Renaissance Technologies[5], and its investors include Naval Ravikant.[citation needed]
Numerai hosts a weekly tournament[6], in which data scientists submit their predictions in exchange for the potential to earn some amount of USD and cryptocurrency called Numeraire. Numerai raised $7.5 million in 2016 in two funding rounds.
