Background

TipRanks was founded in June 2012 in Tel Aviv by Uri Gruenbaum and Gilad Gat, both Israeli technology veterans, in collaboration with Cornell University finance professor Roni Michaely. The company began as a browser extension designed to rank financial pundits by the accuracy of their past stock recommendations — a concept Gruenbaum says was inspired by personal losses from following bad investment advice. In 2013 it launched its Financial Accountability Engine and won two Finovate awards for fintech innovation. Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer invested in 2014 and joined the board. Israeli fintech firm Prytek became an early backer in 2017 and led a $77 million funding round in April 2021. In August 2024, Prytek paid roughly $80 million to acquire an additional 40% stake, giving it approximately 80% ownership at a $200 million valuation, after outbidding outside parties. TipRanks has since expanded internationally — covering Canadian, UK, and Australian markets — and reports around 50 million monthly users. The platform supplies data to major financial institutions including Nasdaq and Morgan Stanley, and generates revenue primarily through tiered retail subscriptions and institutional data licensing rather than advertising or state funding.
