A great team and advisory board, most of them are MIT grads, are launching the Catalyst platform.

"Enigma Catalyst enables anyone to build his or her own crypto-hedge fund. We provide unique data sets and a research platform for traders to build, test and master investment strategies. Our long term vision is to build a de-centralized marketplace for financial data used by traders and accessed with Enigma Catalyst tokens"
The platform will be partly based on an exsisting project of the team cofoundes called Enigam. Enigma tries to solve the securety problem of storing BIG DATA on the cloud, with a blockchain based solution.
