Hey YC! I’m Aman (ex-trader from Tower Research and Goldman Sachs), building Scalar Field with my co-founder Ramakant (ex-Microsoft).

Why does anyone log in to a trading terminal like Bloomberg or FactSet?
Because — whether consciously or subconsciously — there’s a hypothesis in their mind. Something they're trying to validate as they jump across charts, news, fundamentals, and macros.
But here’s the issue: Terminals today are built like giant dashboards.
What traders and analysts actually want is to test and validate ideas, not just observe data. So we asked ourselves — why not rebuild the terminal from scratch to do exactly that?
At Scalar Field, we’re reimagining the trading terminal from the ground up using intelligent agents. We started with retail traders as a way to build credibility with institutions—and already have around 800 paying traders, over 34,000 signups, and $74,000 in monthly revenue.
Our goal is simple:
Let users test any market hypothesis instantly — and intelligently.
We’re building a terminal that can:
→ Run compute-heavy backtests across multiple datasets (fundamentals, prices, macro, alternative data)
→ Spin up agents that reorganize dashboards based on new signals or events
→ React to live market changes and even initiate trades when conditions match your criteria
→ Persist memory across sessions — so your research trail is never lost
→ Chain multi-hop workflows: e.g., If ETF flows spike and earnings surprises drop, highlight affected sectors and show next trade ideas
It’s not just data access — it’s agent-driven insight and action.
We’re offering 2 months of Pro+ free to all YC X25 founders and alums.
