SESAMm, an innovative start-up created in Luxembourg in 2014 and based out of the Lux FutureLab, is to participate in the French Fintech Tour taking place in London and Dublin from 4 - 6 April 2017; of the 8eight selected startups, SESAMm is the only one to represent the colours of Luxembourg.

The company has chosen this significant event to showcase its brand new product: "The Mood of Markets". This new innovative product consists of a web-based visualisation of emotions relating to financial assets. With this new type of information, investment decision-making is improved for financial actors.

Pierre Rinaldi, co-founder and co-CEO of SESAMm, stated "We are fortunate to have already many planned meetings with the largest American and Anglo-Saxon banks and investment funds, the stakes of this event are significant for us and we intend to make the most of them."

The company specialises in artificial intelligence and in particular in automatic language processing, a technology that extracts and automatically understands information contained in textual data. Its team of engineers and researchers develop extraction and storage algorithms adapted to large quantities of data (social media, news, forums, internal data), systems of analysis of subjectivity (opinions, emotions, feelings) and predictive models (machine learning and quantitative analysis). Their specialty is to extract and automatically detect behavioural anomalies in markets from mass data. They have applied these technologies to different case studies, particularly in the field of asset management, be it in algorithmic trading or in more traditional management processes with large financial players.

In addition, SESAMm has recently launched its second fund-raising round of €3 million. This major funding represents their strong belief in our growth for this year and for next year.
