==Operations==

Stockhub Limited is a company that’s on a mission to make more money for everyone.

Its first product is a free-to-access investment research platform. What makes the platform unique is that it's the only investment research platform in the world that can be edited by anyone.

Evidence suggest that enabling the research to be edited by anyone will, in time, result in free-to-access high-quality research on the largest number of investments. In other words, it will result in the democratisation of investment research, and in helping to make more money for everyone.

==Market==

In order to help make more money for everyone (i.e. achieve the mission of the company), the company has decided that the best monetisation method of Stockhub is advertising. Accordingly, here, the total addressable market (TAM) is defined as the global advertising market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the market will grow, in terms of revenue, to $762 billion by 2024. For comparison purposes, it is estimated that the TAM as of 31st December 2020 is $578 billion. Here, the serviceable available market (SAM) is defined as the global investment advertising market, and based on a number of assumptions, the company estimates that the market will grow to $183 billion by 2024. Finally, here, the serviceable obtainable market (SOM) is defined as the global investment advertising market that is represented by the ‘Analyst’ personality type (i.e. the target audience of the Stockhub product), and based on a number of assumptions, we estimate that the market will grow to $19 billion by 2024.

==Competition==

The biggest competitors to the Stockhub platform, in a range of key categories, is Robinhood (category: investment platform), Goldman Sachs Research (category: investment research platform), Google Search (category: general information platform) and Bloomberg Terminal (category: financial information platform).
