We are on a mission to give self-directed investors the tools and data to make better investment decisions. Self directed investors need high quality data and software, without the hefty price tag.

Our founder, Braden Dennis, couldn't find the tool for everything in one place, so he started building it. He then partnered up with life-long friend and extremely skilled developer, Ryan White, to build a more scalable solution.

Today, Stratosphere is a wonderful team of varying backgrounds to build a technology enabled platform that empowers self-directed investors. We can't wait to keep building.
