Comment: I've provided a partial source assessment on the talk page. A few of the sources I was unable to read, so I'm not quite ready to decline this draft for failing to establish notability according to WP:NCORP, but that's the way I would be leaning. It would probably help the average reader to link Quantitative analyst somewhere in here. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 06:22, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Quantiacs is a crowd-sourced quant platform hosting algorithmic trading contests and a marketplace serving investors and quants.
History
Quantiacs was founded in 2014..[1]
The company has grown from a base of users of 6,500 quants in April 2017[2] to over 10,000 quants in January 2018.[3][4]
Business model
The company invests some of its own money in the competition winners and aims to become a marketplace for automated trading systems. Quantiacs does not charge management fees to investors and assigns performance fees of 10% of the strategy net new profits to the quants who developed the systems.[5][6][7]
The performance of the algorithms can be controlled on the Quantiacs website as their charts are publicly displayed.[8]
The company focuses on quantitative strategies with long term performance horizons, highly scalable and with multiple years of backtested data.[9] Algorithms are tested for at least 6 months to ensure their statistical robustness before being eligible for trading.[3]
Technology
Quantiacs provides an open-source backtester and it supported Matlab and Python until 2021.[10][11] In 2021 it released a new version of its backtesting engine focused on Python.[12][13] Users can work online or use a local version of the backtester for own design and testing of systems.[12]
