Seeking Alpha is a crowd-sourced content service that publishes news on financial markets. It is accessible via a website and mobile app. After a free trial period, users must pay a subscription fee to access content. Independent contributors, mostly from the buy side, write almost all of the articles published by the service and are paid based on how many subscribers access their articles. Notable contributors include Henry Blodget and Paco Ahlgren.[citation needed]

Seeking Alpha was founded in 2004 by former Morgan Stanley technology analyst David Jackson.[1]

The company established distribution partnerships with MSN, CNBC, MarketWatch, NASDAQ and TheStreet.com.
