Presidential Stock Trade Tracker

Real-time monitoring and alerts for insider stock trades by politicians and government officials. Target: retail investors looking to follow smart money and detect unusual trading patterns.

Nancy Pelosi memes and the STOCK Act disclosure requirements have made congressional trading a genuine retail obsession since 2021, and tools like Unusual Whales have built real audiences off this exact data. The closest incumbent is Quiver Quantitative, which aggregates congressional trades among other alternative datasets and charges accordingly. A $2k–$10k monthly revenue band is plausible given that data-driven retail investors will pay $10–30/month for curated alerts, meaning you need roughly 100–500 subscribers — achievable but not trivial. The biggest risk is commoditization: the underlying disclosure data is public and free, so differentiation lives entirely in UX and alert quality, and a better-funded competitor can replicate the feature set in a sprint.
