How It All Started

​

HypeIndex began like many startups do: Avner Roash, the co-founder, found himself in search of a tool to assist with his investments. With the overwhelming amount of data streams available, he needed a solution that would save him time by providing alerts.

Avner has been an active investor since 2017, rapidly growing his crypto and stock portfolio. Recognizing the value in analyzing web hype, he sought a tool that would notify him of rising stocks or coins flying under the radar.

Armed with entrepreneurial experience, Avner approached Dor Kelman, an experienced CTO within Israel's startup community.

Dor, whose last co-founded startup raised over 8 million USD, quickly got on board. Within 1-2 months, Dor developed a web scraper to test the assumption that there's a clear correlation between hype and price. Partnering with a data science team, we chose the statistical model and strategy.

The results were astonishing. In 2021, our strategy yielded a 217% return, while the S&P 500 generated a 24% ROI.

In 2022, HypeIndex launched its first funding round, raising 350K USD from angel investors in just 3 weeks.

By 2023, HypeIndex was selected to participate in the Google startup program, receiving 200K USD in Google credits.
