Investing

Forum turns anything — AI, pickleball, a politician — into a tradable asset. We index online engagement around topics and let you go long or short on their relevance over time. Unlike a prediction market, there's no ending event here. Just increases and decreases in popularity over time.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Owen from Forum. For context, I went to Northwestern and used to work at a hedge fund. A lot of people don't know enough about the stock market to get involved. It's hard to stay up-to-date with company financials (what NVDA's revenue was last year? idk), market sentiment, and everything else that goes into price movements (what the CEO said yesterday, what sell-side note just dropped, what market factors are rotating, etc.). So, there's a huge swath of Americans that don't bother participating. But most people DO know how popular their favorite artist is. Maybe you spotted them early and watched them grow. Most people ALSO know how relevant their favorite movie is or SWEAR they predicted the fall-off of last year's trend. On Forum, we're creating an entirely new market around this idea. Instead of trading on the financials of different companies, you trade on the popularity of different topics. We track engagement across the internet and turn it into a tradable asset. You can: - Long your favorite artist, movie, creator, film, or trend. Spot the next big thing. - Short anything you think is overhyped. - Get insurance for ad spend (hedge relevance) if you are a creator, studio, label, or anyone who manages a brand. - See what's truly relevant across the internet (beyond your own feed). We're working with regulators (the CFTC) to bring real-money trading to the US. But in the meantime, we're beta testing with weekly prizes for the top 3 traders on our leaderboard. I'd love for you all to try it out!
