Next Frontier Hub – Building an AI-Powered Investing Engine for Emerging Tech
A full-stack breakdown of how I built Next Frontier Hub—an automated SaaS platform that filters noise from signal in the emerging tech investment space. From scraping macro and SEC data to generating investor-grade reports, this project blends AI, automation, and clean UI to deliver powerful insights for both novice and professional investors.
Next Frontier Hub — Intelligent Investing in Emerging Tech
Next Frontier Hub is a fully automated, AI-powered SaaS platform designed to help investors navigate the noisy and rapidly evolving world of emerging tech. By combining real-time macroeconomic signals, AI-powered company analysis, and sleek automation workflows, it empowers users to identify high-potential companies and make smarter investment decisions.
Why I Built It
As an investor with a deep interest in macroeconomic trends and emerging technologies, I often found the traditional research process slow, fragmented, and full of noise. I built Next Frontier Hub to fix that.
✅ Purpose: Automate and elevate investment analysis in the tech space
🧠 Approach: Blend macro strategy + company fundamentals + AI automation
🛠️ Background: Economics + Software Engineering = IP-driven SaaS tool
How It Works — Step-by-Step Breakdown

- 📰 AI-generated Newsletters — Curated insights on emerging tech trends and companies
- ✍️ Blog Posts — Analysis and commentary based on scraped data from credible financial and tech news sources
- 🎙️ Podcasts — Audio format of market insights, narrated and generated using AI
These free resources are generated daily by scraping high-quality, vetted sources, then summarizing the content using GPT-4. Each piece highlights specific companies that could benefit from macro or tech trend inflection points.
This layer serves as a high-velocity discovery engine, surfacing high-potential companies and emerging opportunities—giving users an intelligence edge before they scale into a premium engagement.
