The minds
behind the
bull.

LazyBull was built by three students at Newton School of Technology who believed options trading was being made artificially complex to keep retail traders on the wrong side of the trade. We're changing that.

// the problem

"Options platforms were designed by banks, for banks. Retail traders were an afterthought — or worse, the product."

— Shaurya Negi, Co-Founder · Originator
// the fix
→Visualise the options chain as a heatmap you drag to build strategies
→An AI teacher explains every Greek, every risk, in plain English
→Safety rails, kill switches, and a $100k paper account — on by default
→0.4ms Black-Scholes pricing — faster than any retail platform on earth

Shaurya Negi

Co-Founder · Originator

The whole thing began with Shaurya sketching a drag-to-build options chain on the back of a notebook in an NST hostel room. He'd been teaching himself derivatives pricing on the side, and the gap between what a retail platform showed you and what was actually happening under the hood drove him crazy. The first crude prototype was his — everything else grew from that seed.

"Options aren't actually complicated. The interfaces made them complicated. I just wanted something that showed me the truth."

Joshmann Singh

Co-Founder · Product

When Shaurya showed him the first scrappy chain mockup, Joshmann saw the whole product hiding inside it. He spent the next few months reshaping the UX — the heatmap grid, the drag interactions, the AI teacher panel — and turned a clever student project into something a stranger could open and instantly understand. Product, design, and front-end are his domain.

"Shaurya brought the idea. My job was to make sure that on day one, a stranger could open it and just get it."

Pratham Verma

Co-Founder · Operations

By the time Pratham came in, the product worked but the company didn't. He brought structure: a roadmap, a feedback loop with early users, a real onboarding flow, and the safety-rail philosophy that runs through every page. If Shaurya is the why and Joshmann is the how, Pratham is the when, where, and who-for.

"A great prototype isn't a company. My job was to turn what Shaurya and Joshmann built into something traders could actually rely on."

How we got
to here.

Jan 2024
The Spark

Shaurya, mid-semester at NST, sketches a drag-to-build options chain on a hostel whiteboard after watching friends lose money on trades they didn't understand.

Mar 2024
Joshmann Refines It

Joshmann sees the prototype and immediately reshapes it — the heatmap, the motion, the AI teacher panel. The rough idea starts to look like a product.

Jul 2024
First Prototype Ships

Visual chain, live Greeks, and a working paper trade flow go live for a tiny circle of NST friends. Word spreads inside the campus first.

Nov 2024
Pratham Joins

Pratham comes in and turns scattered Notion docs into a real roadmap. Safety rails, onboarding, and a proper beta program all get owners.

Mar 2025
AI Teacher Born

The AI teacher layer ships. Greeks, IV, and risk metrics finally explain themselves in plain English — average session length triples.

Sep 2025
Closed Beta

First closed beta opens beyond NST. 400 sign-ups in week one with zero paid ads. Safety rails and the $100k paper account become defaults.

Now
lazybull.trade

Three founders, one mission: a full pro workspace, quant tools, safety rails, and an AI teacher for every Greek. The bull is just getting started.

⟢ Section 04 / Values// beliefs.md

What we believe
when the market opens.

◈

Radical Clarity

If a 16-year-old can't understand it, we haven't explained it well enough. Every Greek, every risk metric — in plain English.

⬡

Risk First

Every feature ships with a kill switch. We protect capital before we chase profit. Training wheels are a feature, not a crutch.

◎

No Gatekeeping

Options were locked behind jargon for 50 years. Wall Street liked it that way. We're unlocking the door — permanently.

▣

Speed Obsession

0.4ms chain pricing isn't a feature — it's a floor. Slow data is bad data. Slowness is disrespect for the trader.
