a chrysanthemum
Goldflower Capital combines quantitative rigor with technological innovation to make sophisticated investing accessible to everyone.
Democratizing quantitative investing
We believe everyone should have access to the same data-driven portfolio strategies that institutional investors use.

No coding or quant degree required. Subscribe and receive daily, actionable portfolio intelligence delivered to your inbox.
Rigor
758 trading days of point-in-time backtested data, multiple independent strategy methods, and ML-enhanced prediction.
Innovation
From natural language trading via MCP to quantum computing exploration, we push the boundaries of what’s possible in retail investing.
Meet the founder
George Dikos
George built Goldflower Capital from the ground up — from the PostgreSQL database and Python automation pipeline to the AWS infrastructure and machine learning models. With a background spanning quantitative research and software engineering, he combines deep technical expertise with a passion for making sophisticated investing strategies accessible.
The platform’s proprietary EventSim engine has been under development since 2021, processing thousands of strategy combinations daily to identify the highest-conviction portfolio holdings. The system runs on production AWS infrastructure with automated daily email delivery to subscribers.
The opportunity
A differentiated approach to quantitative investing with proven performance and a clear path to scale.
Retail investors lack access to institutional quant strategies
Quantitative portfolio construction — strategy selection, rank-based weighting, regime detection — has been the exclusive domain of hedge funds. Retail tools offer simple screening, not real portfolio intelligence.
Daily, actionable portfolio intelligence via email
Subscribers receive optimal portfolio holdings every morning: exact tickers, weights, and performance metrics. No software to install, no coding required. Just subscribe and invest smarter.
+112% cumulative return (vs S&P +66%)
758 trading days of auditable, point-in-time backtested performance. 1.03 Sharpe ratio. 9.21% annualized alpha. Max drawdown nearly half the S&P 500.
MAD: a novel, proprietary alpha signal
Multiple Appearance Days measures consensus across dozens of independent strategies. This ensemble approach is inherently more robust than any single indicator, and we’re publishing the research to establish academic credibility.
Subscription + premium tiers
Free tier: daily baseline portfolio emails. Premium: Sharpe-optimized weights, asset scanner, ML hyperperformer alerts, and natural language trading via MCP integration.
Seed funding to accelerate growth
Funding will go toward: expanding the subscriber base, completing the asset scanner and MCP trading server, hiring a second quant researcher, and pursuing regulatory compliance for managed accounts.
