Trefis provides a new breed of fundamental analysis and visualization tools to retail and institutional investors. We aim to blur the line between Excel models, visualization tools, ePublishing and interactive web sites.

We started a few years ago with a team of MIT alums, and have grown rapidly to reach profitability, and now encompass consulting firms, top 5 banks, and Fortune 500 companies as our customers. Yet we are only getting started towards our goal of monetizing a $30B+ market. Executed properly, with your help, our product will be hugely disruptive.

Are you looking to make a ton of impact working with a small, talented team? Are your tired of spending your days shuttling data between web forms and databases, when you can do so much more? Are you ready to apply your strong analytic and problem solving skills to challenging and rewarding technical projects? We want to hear from you.
