Full description — before
At Rid we're determined to make selling easier than buying. All you have to do is text us what you're selling, and we'll take care of the rest -- researching the product, listing on marketplaces, negotiating with buyers, answering questions, and handling delivery. We all have that thing we've been too lazy to sell. Rid makes it so easy we can't even be lazy.

Summary
This is a full pivot: Chestnut Forty (formerly Rid) changed from a consumer-focused text-based selling assistant to building forecasting agents for global macro events. The new business has no relation to the old product, market, or problem space.
