Bloomberg Terminal subscribers pay $27,000 per year to stay informed. But the terminal doesn't generate a personalized daily summary — it just gives you access to raw data and requires you to synthesize it yourself.
ListenBrief does the synthesis for you. Every morning at 6 AM UTC (2 AM Eastern, before pre-market opens), your daily investor briefing is generated from the sources you've added: news feeds, analyst newsletters, company blogs, earnings feeds, and YouTube channels. It arrives in your inbox as an MP3.
You listen on your commute. You're informed before the market opens.
What investors include in their briefing
Your briefing pulls from any source you define. Active investors and money managers typically track:
- Financial news feeds — CNBC, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal (public RSS), Bloomberg (public articles), Barron's
- Earnings and filing feeds — SEC EDGAR RSS for specific tickers, company investor relations blogs
- Macro intelligence — Federal Reserve publications RSS, Treasury yield feeds, economic data releases
- Analyst newsletters — Seeking Alpha, Substack finance newsletters, Goldman Sachs published research
- YouTube channels — market analysis channels (Meet Kevin, Graham Stephan, Andrei Jikh, Bloomberg Technology)
- Crypto feeds — CoinDesk, The Block, Decrypt for investors tracking digital assets alongside equities
The right alternative to a Bloomberg Terminal
For individual investors, family offices, and independent analysts, the Bloomberg Terminal is priced for institutional users. ListenBrief is a different category: it doesn't give you real-time data or execution — it gives you a structured morning synthesis from the public sources and publications you already rely on. At $9–$39/mo, it's accessible to any serious investor.
Power subscribers ($39/mo) get a 30-minute deep briefing with cross-source analysis. If you're tracking a portfolio of 20 positions across equities, crypto, and alternative assets, a 30-minute briefing can synthesize signals across all of them from 15+ sources.
Covers equities, crypto, macro, and alternatives
Many modern investors hold diversified portfolios across asset classes. ListenBrief handles all of them in one briefing — mix equity news feeds with crypto publications, real estate news with macro commentary. Your briefing covers your actual portfolio, not a generic financial news digest.
