Qineqt is building the largest "human" powered Financial database around . 

Set to beta launch in December , the data for Qineqt's platform will be inputted - manually - not scraped - by a team of 1000 researchers in Pakistan.  

Nadir Khan, a former hedge fund executive is CEO and has recruited a former Goldman partner - Lisa Shalett - to his advisory board.

 BRUNI PR helped put Qineqt on the media map last week with a major profile story in Institutional Investor, the leading Wall Street and Finance media outlet.
