EquityStat

What does your company do? What unique problem does it solve?

EquityStat is an online investment portfolio manager. It allows investors to track and manage their stocks, mutual funds and ETFs, online in the cloud. Many investors own a combination of stocks, mutual funds and ETFs. In addition many investors also have a 401k or retirement plan.

EquityStat's portfolio manager allows investors to see all of these investments in one place. This way the investor does not have to go to their broker to see their stock holding, to their mutual fund company to see their mutual fund holdings or go to their retirement account to see their retirement holdings. They can go to EquityStat and see all of their holdings and also see how each holding is performing as well as see how well all of their holdings are performing collectively.

Who are your customers?

Our customers are any investor who owns stocks, mutual funds or ETFs.

How long have you been in business?

We have been in business since 2014.

Where are you located?
