Ahrvo is a fintech company founded in March 2017. Ahrvo’s proprietary stock ranking system and resulting AhrvoScores™ help investors and traders of all backgrounds make timely and profitable investment decisions among more than 8000 stocks and ETFs. AhrvoScores looks at over 4 dozen subfactors that are highly correlated with price performance, subsequently grouping them into four main factors — Quality, Value, Growth, and Momentum. For the past ten years, the system has consistently outperformed the stock market (benchmark Russell 3000 w/dividends). The model’s performance report was generated by a third-party firm, EQM Capital LLC. The platform is available on iOS and Android. AhrvoDEEX allows Ahrvo to vertically integrate its existing business. AhrvoDEEX is the first blockchain exchange (brokerage) that rewards you in cryptocurrency for trading equities. Once launched, the Ahrvo app will run on AhrvoDEEX.
Clearinghouses and other intermediaries are bottlenecks that limit order-matching transparency and settlement speed. Wall Street analysts lack objectivity and produce inaccurate equity ratings and price targets, leaving traders and investors without a roadmap to evaluate equities.
Public equities settlement speed has averaged two to three days since the 1970s. Central depositories and stock exchanges have consolidated power.
From 1981 to 2016, the top 10 percent of stocks analysts were optimistic about generally performed worse than the 10 percent of stocks analyst were pessimistic about.
Over that time period, stocks analysts were pessimistic about gained 15% in excess return over the following year relative to the stocks analysts were optimistic about.
According to Factset, only 5% of S&P 500 stocks were rated sell in 2018.
More than 1/3 of brokerage revenue earned in 2016 came from institutions look for access to the c-suite according to Greenwich Associates. Furthermore, a large portion of an analyst’s compensation is often tied to their ability to develop, nurture, and maintain these relationships.
Opportunity
AhrvoDEEX platform will trade traditional equities, not tokenized equities. Our focus is on accelerating the adoption of blockchain within equity markets by integrating into the brokerage system. As a result, AhrvoDEEX can onboard clients from traditional brokerages through the automated customer account transfer system (ACATS), providing access to trillions in brokerage assets from inception. This allows the network to scale due to the ease of adoption- users can roll over existing brokerage and retirement accounts without liquidating their portfolio.
Global equity market cap is ~ 60-70 trillion USD (the U.S. is ~35-40%%) vs. cryptocurrency market range of 200-250 billion USD (ease of adoption and scale)
The U.S. brokerage industry revenue has grown 16 percent since 2013 from $264.2 to $308.6 billion. Profit growth jumped 48 percent over the same time period. (large market opportunity)
The global fintech blockchain market had a total value of 204 million U.S. dollars in 2017. It is expected to reach ~8.3 billion USD by 2024. A compounded annual growth rate of 70%. (strong secular tailwind)
In 2017, 23% of the surveyed financial companies were planning to use blockchain technology for clearing and settlement of securities (no solution like AhrvoDEEX on the market)
Ally Invest conducted a survey that found, 75 percent of millennial women and 60 percent of millennial men find investing confusing. (Millennials are set to inherit $30 trillion in the U.S. alone)

Very unprofessional project, =I have worked with this project with alot of energy contributing works, time and effort. Akporefe Agbamu decided to kick me from the project after without any valid reason. I am suspecting fraud and that this project is hiring people on contract just to take there time effort and works to eventually kick them from the project. As I took to my notice that Akporefe Agbamu seem to be keep hiring new team members offering contracts and then suddenly ending the contracts before any payments. This project seems to be a no go. Would not trust Akporefe Agbamu with my money in this project.

Team: Team is from different countries it's hard to communicate while i can't say that USA is allowing Visa for Indian. Because it's really hard. While In India Crypto Currency is illegal. So there is doubt now. So i can't say team is fullfil for this project in a future. While CEO is great. I have couple of meeting with him via call to know Ahrvo in better manners. So in my opinion he is good but he should need to show a best result from his management he should need to explain how he is taking this project with communication distance barer.
Vision: Vision is great because they are targeting Stock.
Product: Product is great because i have downloaded myself it's working fine while it is given below on google too.

AhrvoDEEX is a unique project that focuses on decentralizing the stock market. Unlike most exchange projects that are crypto centered or focus on tokenizing equities, AhrvoDEEX project is focused on integrating into the current financial system which should accelerate adoption.
There is already an existing product which is out on iOS and Android (ahrvo.com) The platform ranks over 8000 stocks and ETFs. They are vertically integrating the company in order offer trading capabilities along side quantitative rankings, instead of their existing partnership.
I believe this project will deliver as they displayed with the current version of the platform. Look forward to seeing what the future holds for this project!
Team: International and large team which always get the thumbs up! They all seem to have the relevant experience which is good.
Vision: The team have clearly identified the problem of Wall Street analysts lacking objectivity and their target market, so they are now developing a product which streamlines the security selection and portfolio construction process.
Product: The business model looks very comprehensive and their pitch deck gives detailed notes on competitive advantages and revenue opportunity.
Good luck guys, I am sure this will do very well indeed!
AhrvoDEEX amis to be a A.I. Powered Decentralized Equity Exchange (DEEX) that rewards you for trading stocks and ETFs.
Team - Based on the review of the team credentials in the whitepaper and social media it appears that they do not have any significant experience in running a crypto exchange business. Some of the team members seem to be working on the project only on part time basis as can be evidenced from multiple positions held on LinkedIn profile.
Vision – The white paper appears to be a collection of buzzwords like blockchain, A.I. etc without any substance or making any logical sense. The problems identified are very vague and the solutions proposed are vaguer. There seems to be no real need to use blockchain technology to solve all the vague problems that the project aims to solve.
Product - It appears that Ahrvo DEEX seems to be at a conceptual stage.
Overall, I find it difficult to understand what problem the project is trying to solve and how it is trying to solve it. It feels like an attempt to ride the crypto wave.
