InvestorPlace Senior Investment AnalystAbout Luke Lango
Blending the precision of a Caltech mathematician with the grit of a college athlete, Luke Lango has built a reputation for spotting tech stocks on the verge of major market breakouts.
While studying economics at the California Institute of Technology — one of the world’s top technology universities — Luke’s passion for applying math to sports eventually evolved into a fascination with applying math to markets. He later co-founded Scoutables, a fintech startup that used advanced quantitative models to forecast injury risk for professional athletes. He went on to help launch and fund several startups in Silicon Valley. These included a social discovery company backed by legendary angel investor Bill Gross, a sports analytics firm co-founded with a former Major League Baseball general manager, and an equity research group linking tech founders with early-stage investors.
That blend of academic rigor and real-world innovation became the foundation of Luke’s investing philosophy: combining AI modeling with behavioral economics to identify breakthrough growth opportunities before they reach Wall Street’s radar.
His track record speaks for itself. In 2020, Luke was ranked the #1 stock picker in the world by TipRanks, outperforming more than 15,000 financial analysts and Wall Street veterans. His recommendations have included multiple standout winners such as Microsoft (+1,000%), Advanced Micro Devices (+8,000%), Netflix (+1,200%), Axon (+3,200%), Shopify (+1,400%), Tesla (+3,500%), Nvidia (+5,000%), Strategy (+2,100%), AST SpaceMobile (+1,000%), Rocket Lab (+1,300%), IonQ (+1,400%), and Palantir (+1,100%).
In 2023, Luke launched Breakout Trader, a system designed to identify stocks on the edge of major technical breakouts. Since its debut, the strategy has delivered impressive wins like 145% from Kratos Defense, 210% from Bioventus, 197% from Blend Labs, and 193% from Applied Therapeutics.
Today, as the lead technology and cryptocurrency analyst at InvestorPlace, Luke oversees several premium research services — including Innovation Investor, Early Stage Investor, and Breakout Trader — where he continues to merge advanced data modeling with firsthand venture experience. More than 250,000 readers worldwide follow Luke’s market research, seeking his insight on how technology — from AI and space exploration to blockchain and robotics — can reshape industries, build wealth, and transform the way we invest.
