Fintech OpenBB aims to be more than an ‘open source Bloomberg Terminal’


OpenBB has been dubbed an open source Bloomberg Terminal challenger -- but it really just wants to democratize investment research.

OpenBB is the handiwork of software engineer Didier Lopes, who launched the Python-based platform back in 2021 as a way for amateur investors and enthusiasts to do investment research using different datasets for free, via a command line interface (CLI). And so Lopes launched GameStonk Terminal in early 2021 to aggregate financial data on publicly traded companies and competitors; SEC filings; earnings reports; and even market sentiment, conveyed through social networks such as Reddit and Twitter. On the flip side, OpenBB gives users the flexibility to build out their own front-end interface, add features and extensions on top of the open source product, and customize ’til the cows come home.
