Ask HN: Anyone want to start a prop fund?
I'd love to spin up a lightweight, ongoing side project in the form of a micro quant prop trading fund.
Ideally, this would just be a couple hours per week commitment.
Specifically, I'm looking for someone:
- co-investing capital (small amount, enough to earn a pizza a week) - with ML experience / interest - with public market knowledge (amateur is fine)
Basically, my focus would be on building the data pipelines, trading engine, and infrastructure (the "body") while a collaborator would build the algorithm(s) (the "brain") but I'm sure we'd also have plenty of cross-specialization work.
I'd treat this project as a way to learn new technologies, tools, and languages more than anything.
Plus, I like pizza.
If you're interested, either leave a comment here or DM me on Twitter.
