Fun project but meh on subscription. This data already exists in much better detail including full network graphs of people and many additional data points. Financial data is a hard problem because it’s not only hard to offer something new but also your only real consumer unless novel data is going to be retail.

Agreed, the big providers like Bloomberg cover this space with way more depth. I'm building for the teams that can't justify those budgets (small sales teams, independent recruiters, solo advisors)
What’s the value add though? This could be vibe coded out in a couple hours of coding and some more incremental time to process historical filings.

And I don’t mean this in a negative way simply that this is just a 30min UI around a 1 hour LLM data pipeline.

Totally fair. The value is just that it's built and working, you get the data in real time without having to set anything up yourself.

It's definitely vibecodeable but there's a decent amount of edge cases and ongoing maintenance that add up. I'm sure an actual engineer could do it way better. I just wanted the product, couldn't find one at a reasonable price, so I built it.

I agree with you, site also looks too much a one day vibecoded stuff. Can you give me references where I can these graphs of people, I am interested because I am working on something similar.
