I Needed Money, So I Read The Quant’s Playbook

Starting chemical companies, building sports betting algorithms, and deploying quantitative trading techniques.

Back in September 2022, I decided to start the transition to smarter, more in-depth pieces that would solely be featured on The Quant’s Playbook. It’s been an exhilarating journey and I’d like to go over some of the most interesting experiments and opportunities covered thus far:

In this post, we ventured off the trading/coding path, and into the exciting world of startup chemical companies. We went over the entire process from creating the business model and sourcing the chemicals, to managing logistics and analyzing profits.

This has been one of my favorite posts. It goes into the weeds of how complex operations can all be managed from 1 screen, thousands of miles away.

If any of these stories piqued your interest, you can find them posted weekly over at The Quant’s Playbook!

I hope to see you there! 🙂
