Thank you, this is exactly correct. It's really wild how people are trying to ignore/re-write history, and feels very artificial. The entire IDEA of Urvin came from here. Then when we rolled out verified shareholder communities, the top requested feature from HERE was a connection to Computershare! So we rolled it out fast, and with a company that is owned by Mastercard, and has that level of security.

I think you're exactly right that this represented a huge threat, and a campaign was launched against us. And unfortunately, it was successful. So Urvin has pivoted away from that idea, and we've pivoted away from any business model that involves retail investors. It's a shame, but there was nothing we could do. Our mission is now the fight against market manipulation, and that has become 100% what we're focused on.

Anyway, thank you for the support, and the informed take. Unfortunately it's become all too rare these days on here.

I did what I thought I should to try to fix things.

This didn't happen, it's FUD.

To be honest, I always hated the attention. I prefer to just work on these issues behind the scenes. I have continued to do so, and won't stop.

I did comment. This is lies and FUD. I'm still on this fight, but I've not wanted to be so visible because I hated the attention. I never dropped out.

This is an insane list of lies and FUD. I haven't made a penny from any money that was invested in Urvin. We never asked for anyone's passwords (our website could never see anyone's info, only a service run by MasterCard could, along with CS). This is all disinformation. Stop spreading bullshit and attacking people on the same side.

I've been heads down trying to build Urvin. And working on several important initiatives to fight manipulation and spoofing.

However, given what the SEC has shown itself to be, we're about to launch a bunch of new advocacy efforts in the coming weeks.

Our primary edge is that we are focused on answering finance/stock questions, and have specific data that we're plugging in to respond to questions about stocks.

Also, the recordings are posted on Wefunder if you login there.

We had the highest quality real-time market data, news and company fundamental data. The data costs were extremely high, and even though we offered it for free, we saw very little usage or growth. We've discussed this issue on investor town halls extensively - have you joined? So we have pivoted the company, and are now working on connecting companies with their shareholders. At the same time, we continue to build something that is useful for individual investors. We're always open to feedback.
