YC-Funded MarketBrief Makes Obtuse SEC Documents Human-Friendly

If you've ever tried to trudge through an SEC filing (or most financial filings, for that matter), you know that it can be a tedious and sometimes confusing process hampered by excessive legalize and�unnecessarily�small font sizes. Now MarketBrief, a Y Combinator-backed company that's relaunching today, has a solution: it looks through these SEC filings for you, then culls the key data to automatically generate a plain-English (well, almost plain) version that sounds more like a newspaper article than a legal document. You may already be familiar with the startup if you deal with a lot of SEC documents ?�the company originally launched as SECWatch back in 2009, when it served a fairly simple function: it would monitor public SEC filings for new updates, and would make those documents easy to access.
