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. Every day, millions of people make predictions about what will continue to matter: a brand, a conflict, a new technology. These predictions shape the global economy and advance culture. AI slop and the internet have accelerated content production to such an extent that predicting trends has become nearly impossible.

Noise exists to solve this. We measure attention across the internet and allow people to trade on its future. The result is real-time markets on how brands, narratives, and ideas rise and fall. If we succeed, Noise becomes the standard for measuring attention and a new way to reveal what truly matters in the world.
