From the founder
"Tom is a true legend in the financial information and news industry. In the game of basketball, our partnership would be the equivalent to having Michael Jordan joining the team – and I could not be more excited about the game plan we will build together."
Fabio Kuhn
CEO at Vortexa
Investor perspective
"The traditional financial information networks were primarily based on the aggregation and distribution of market data. Vortexa is the first information platform of its kind using advanced AI to create a real-time fundamental view of the multi-trillion-dollar energy market. The speed in which Vortexa is attracting and working with the top energy traders in the market is a clear indication of something immensely valuable in the making."
