Proxylity: Academic and Non-Profit Program

Proxylity is a relatively new "alternative data" platform that provides institutional investors with non-traditional datasets (e.g. credit-card transactions, satellite imagery, web-scraped pricing) to gain trading or research edges. Mainstream data providers like Bloomberg, Refinitiv, or MSCI charge tens of thousands of dollars per year — prohibitively expensive for most academics and non-profits. Proxylity's Academic and Non-Profit Program offers free or heavily discounted access to its datasets for peer-reviewed research, student projects, and charitable work, mirroring moves by other financial-data firms (e.g. Quandl, now part of Nasdaq) to build goodwill and future talent pipelines.
