**Mercata** is looking for a few experienced **buy-side equity analysts** to participate in early **user testing** of our new **AI-native Research OS** for hedge funds and alternative asset managers. We are not looking for financial analysts, or investment bankers, quants or macros at this time. If you’ve ever wished your research tools understood your workflow, we’d love your input. Time commitment is just a few hours, and we’ll **compensate you for your time**. NOTE: This is a short user-testing engagement (not an employment role). **About Mercata**Mercata is an **AI-native research OS for fundamental investors**. We transform the flood of fragmented financial information into a **structured, time-aware intelligence graph** that analysts can actually work with. Our platform **ingests and links** filings, news, press releases, and alternative data across companies, people, and markets. Rather than summarizing documents, Mercata goes deep—capturing **context, evolution, and hidden relationships** that matter in the sectors we cover. By automating data ingestion and surfacing high-impact events, Mercata **frees analysts from manual review** and helps them focus on forming original, high-conviction ideas. Think of it as a **hyper-competent sidekick** that makes the analyst look brilliant.
