More has been written about the stock market than at any other time. Investors of all types are inundated with information, commentary and analysis on thousands of stocks.Sifting through this flood of data to discover which experts are right more often – and have higher returns – is the service Tel Aviv-based TipRanks provides to users. Web-based TipRanks is a comprehensive, data-driven investment tool that measures the accuracy of published financial advice.The financial engine tracks and ranks the performance of more than 4,000 financial analysts, 5,000 financial bloggers, and 35,000 corporate insiders.As with so many of Israel’s startups, TipRanks emerged at the intersection of need and curiosity. Several years ago, CEO and founder Uri Gruenbaum was looking for a better way to make investment decisions after his wife asked him why he trusted certain stock analysts. Lacking an objective, data-driven tool for ranking stock market experts, he teamed up with Gilad Gat and received input from Roni Michaely, a finance professor at Cornell University, and launched TipRanks. The fintech startup attracted the attention of former New York governor Eliot Spitzer and Israel’s largest bank – Bank Hapoalim.TipRanks now employs more than 30 people in Israel, US and Australia. The core of Tip- Ranks is crowd wisdom. The engine analyzes the forecasts, insights, news and opinions from tens of thousands of sources (including bloggers on Seeking Alpha, Motley Fool and Yahoo Finance). The financial engine parses the data further, including the rating of insiders and by their past trading accuracy. This analysis enables subscribers to use the site to align their strategies with those of others, such as corporate officers with good investment track records. Tip- Ranks recently released a tool called Smart Portfolio that provides a new way for individual investors to track the growth of their investments, analyze real-time news investments, and compare their portfolio with that of their peers.The new feature It integrates an existing online brokerage portfolio-including Fidelity, Schwab and E*Trade with TipRanks’s tools, allowing an investor to manage returns in real time using an automated investment adviser while maintaining individual control. “We see Tip- Ranks becoming the Amazon for investment advice,” said Gruenbaum. TipRanks was recently named, together with eight other Israeli fintech companies as one of the 100 disrupting fintech companies for 2016 by KPMG.AnyClip AnyClip, the world’s first personalized, content-driven video advertising platform, has been ranked 14th on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500T EMEA list, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).The honor is based on Any- Clip’s 5,141% revenue growth during the past four years.“As video advertising continues its path to dominance, we are confident in our ability to understand and personalize video content,” said AnyClip’s president and CEO Gil Becker.“Bringing stakeholders’ experiences that are compelling and will keep our company on this incredible trajectory.”Paul Sallomi, vice chairman of Deloitte LLP, said: “Innovation is more than technological advancement; it’s also a state of mind.”He added: “The winners of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program in EMEA recognize that this new type of thinking is essential for business success.
