Milktooth Research LLC builds two kinds of things: games that turn real-world data into play, and machine-learning trading systems for funds and trading firms. Both come from the same skill set: forecasting messy, live data and making the results easy to act on.

Games

We make free-to-play web games built on live, real-world data.

Systematic AI trading consulting

We design, build and run quantitative trading systems for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and fintech companies, from first research idea to live execution.

Services

• Signal research. Machine-learning and LLM-based alpha signals, including text and alternative data such as news, filings and social media.
• Strategy design and backtesting. Rigorous, leakage-free research pipelines, portfolio construction and risk models.
• Execution and infrastructure. Order management, execution algorithms, delta hedging and market-making systems, and the cloud data pipelines behind them.
• Markets. Equities, options and volatility, crypto and prediction markets.
• Advisory. Reviews of existing research and trading stacks, and hands-on help adopting AI tools in a quant team.

Background

• Text-driven volatility trading research, from a London Business School MSc in 2008.
• Founded Quiverity Research Systems, a buy-side text-analytics platform that turned thousands of web and social-media sources into investment forecasts.
• Built medium-frequency crypto trading, delta-hedging and liquidity-provision systems.
• Open-source quant and ML libraries, including boldfin, skream and yaopt, at github.com/someben.
