Tuesday 30th September
New York, NY — Maiden Century today announces the launch of EDGEtimates, a next-generation marketplace for forward-looking corporate metrics and KPIs built on real-time alternative data. EDGEtimates empowers investors, corporates, and data partners by converting raw signals into actionable forecasts — with transparency, modularity, and usability at its core.
“Markets already trade on alternative data — but until now, there hasn’t been a scalable, transparent way to translate that into forecasts that align with GAAP metrics,” said Qaisar Hasan, Founder & CEO, Maiden Century. “EDGEtimates bridges that gap, giving users a sharper edge without requiring deep data science teams or costly data pipelines.”
Key Features & Differentiators
- KPI Forecasts, not raw data — EDGEtimates ingests diverse alternative data sources (e.g. web traffic, transactions, geolocation, surveys) and packages them into structured, GAAP-aligned metric forecasts across thousands of companies.
- Real-time updates — Forecasts refresh continuously as new data flows in, allowing users to catch inflections early.
- Flexible, modular access — Users may license forecasts by ticker, KPI, or data source — without needing to subscribe to a monolithic data package.
- Transparent benchmarking & quality controls — Every dataset is scored for relevancy and error performance, helping users choose which signals to trust.
- Plug-and-play integration — EDGEtimates forecasts can be consumed via API, dashboards, or even directly into Excel models using the Maiden Century Excel add-in
Addressable Market & Value Proposition
Alternative data has historically been the domain of large funds, in part due to high costs, opaque sourcing, and technical barriers. EDGEtimates democratizes access by offering a more affordable, transparent, and usable interface for KPI forecasting.
For corporates — including IR, strategy, and finance teams — EDGEtimates offers insight into what the market is pricing in. This enables better guidance calibration, scenario planning, and volatility management.
For data partners, the platform provides a new channel for distribution. Instead of licensing raw feeds, partners can surface their data as forecast products, reducing support burden and broadening reach.

Maiden Century is a data analytics firm focused on helping investors and corporates turn alternative data into actionable insights at scale. Its flagship platform, IDEA, unifies and structures alternative datasets across users’ portfolios, enabling real-time signal generation and benchmarking. EDGEtimates extends that capability into a marketplace for forecasted KPIs.
