At 4:47 AM, Marcus Chen sits in his Hong Kong office, staring at six monitors. He manages $2.8 billion for a sovereign wealth fund. On his screens: commodity prices, currency fluctuations, breaking news feeds. He pays Bloomberg $25,000 per year for this terminal. It's worth every penny because information asymmetry is profit.
But Marcus has a problem Bloomberg can't solve. His fund owns $400 million in commercial real estate across 15 cities. Right now, protests are forming near his Shanghai properties. A fire just broke out at his London retail complex. Crime is spiking around his New York assets. His São Paulo mall has become a gathering spot for something – but what?
Marcus would pay another $25,000 per year – hell, he'd pay $100,000 – for real-time intelligence about what's actually happening at his physical assets. But that product doesn't exist.
Until now.
Welcome to Spotit Professional: The Bloomberg Terminal for the physical world. Where hedge funds, real estate empires, and global corporations pay premium prices for ground-truth intelligence about any location on Earth.

Every professional investor needs two things: financial intelligence and physical intelligence. Bloomberg owns the first. Spotit will own the second.
When you're managing billions, paying $25,000 per year for intelligence that prevents one bad decision or identifies one great opportunity is the best ROI imaginable. When that intelligence is exclusive, real-time, and predictive, it's not an expense – it's a competitive weapon.
The firms using Spotit Professional will systematically outperform those relying on traditional data. They'll see risks before they materialize. They'll identify opportunities before prices adjust. They'll verify claims instead of trusting reports.
In finance, information asymmetry is profit. Spotit Professional is asymmetry as a service.
The only question is: Will you be the firm with the advantage, or the one wondering how your competitors keep winning?
