Client Testimonials

“Winning the Battle-Fin Elite division propelled my AUM from $2MM to $7MM in 2 months. Others were worried about being more than 10% of my AUM, Battle-Fin was more interested in giving me the tools I need to be successful.” -John LaChance, Alexandria Capital Management, LLC

“Battle Fin has been Absolutely game changing for us, can’t thank you enough” Zeid Barakat, Flyberry Capital

“Typically evaluating hedge funds is like walking into a football stadium that only lets you see the final score after the game is played. Battle Fin is the first open competition that identifies the most brilliant minds in the industry and pits them in a battle of unparallelled transparency, enabling capital investors to get a real understanding of not just who is best poised to deliver the highest returns for them but why and how they were more successful than their peers and the market.” Scott Elser, Launchpad
