## About Abraham Thomas, Angel Investor

I'm an angel investor, startup advisor and board member. I was previously the co-founder of Quandl, a successful venture-backed tech startup. Over the years I've also been a hedge fund portfolio manager, bond trader, quant engineer, data scientist, senior tech executive and expert data consultant.

🎯 I work at the intersection of data, markets and technology, and I write a popular newsletter on those themes: pivotal.substack.com

🚀 Most recently, I founded Quandl, a SaaS-enabled B2B marketplace for data. Quandl pioneered the category of alternative data for finance, changing the industry along the way. Quandl was acquired by Nasdaq in 2018 in a successful and substantial exit.

📈 Before Quandl, I was an early employee at Simplex Asset Management, a large quant hedge fund. I built one of the bond market’s first algorithmic trading systems, and headed US investing and operations for Simplex before retiring in 2007.

🎓 I studied Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay, India’s top technology school. While there, I helped set up India’s first campus data network, and won a bunch of awards, mostly for extracurriculars and leadership.
