Here’s a firsthand account from our team:
“Russell Nordquist and I had a great experience at the BattleFin Chicago event on October 15-16. A central theme throughout the panels and discussions was the power of AI and LLMs in transforming finance. But the key takeaway for us was that mapped and connected data remains essential for success—not only in traditional modeling but also for generative AI. Despite advances in tech, the foundation is still clean, well-connected data to create reliable alpha and drive consistent trading results. Code Willing is solving this challenge with extensive mapping to Traditional and ALTData sources, making those critical connections for streamlined insights.”
