Sung Cha

Sung Cha

Product Manager

LinkedIn

Sung spent years building product inside AlphaSense and Sentieo, two platforms every fundamental analyst knows. He's built for the exact buyer Mercata serves today.

His firsthand sense for where those products serve a hedge fund well, and where they leave gaps that only a firm's own system can fill, shapes how Mercata gets built.

How we work

Built to be shaped by the firm, not shipped to the firm.

Mercata is built to be shaped by your team (your COO, your PM, your senior analyst) alongside our team. No professional services layer between us. We hold the system; you shape it.

We're hiring. If you've spent time inside a fundamental shop, or you've built fintech infrastructure that people lived inside, we'd like to talk.

What we're building

Tomorrow's funds will run on infrastructure that keeps their edge theirs.

We're building it.
