What is Noise?

People want to be informed and entertained. Great products make the two inseparable.

Noise is a platform to discover and trade trends. Combining real-time attention data from the top social media platforms and perpetual futures, we’re building a single app to see how much mindshare something has based on people buying and selling around the world.

It’s a hard problem. Pricing attention, modeling order flow, abstracting UX complexity — Noise is unique in its approach to consumer trading. If you’ve ever been obsessed with market design, or wondered how attention becomes an asset, this may be a powerful mission for you.

Working at Noise

A little bit about our team:

• Eight full-time employees based in the US

• Fully in-person in NYC

• Everyone either ships code, designs, or talks to users

Our Values

• Build in the Unknown: We have no interest in iterating on what already exists. Our goal is to create a new type of financial service centered around invention, not optimization.

• The Best Products Teach People What They Want: Like the best music or technology, the most valuable ideas feel obvious in hindsight. We’re designing from first principles and betting on our ability to see what others don’t.

• No Passengers: Everyone at Noise — engineers, designers, marketers — is in the room, in New York City. We’re a small team moving fast with care and intensity. We solve hard problems together. You do not need permission to try new things.
