From a post in 2015:
"We're moving to a new opt-in hedge-fund driven introduction system soon and will be phasing out manual introductions. As the community grows we've found manual introductions to be too tedious.
Its still too early to talk about he new system but we'll announce it in early 2016."
Is this still on the agenda for this year?
Thank you!

Hi Maxime; we've had lots of interest from funds to back community strategies but for now are focusing on getting the platform right. I wouldn't let that stop you using QuantConnect though; raising capital is simple for a good strategy.

Thank you Jared! You're doing a great job! :)
Is there any way we could encrypt our algos to prevent Quandconnect DBAs/Devs from viewing them?
Jared Broad
Thank you, the team works hard and we're giving it 100%.
Regarding encryption; currently no but its easy enough to implement. I've made a ticket and we can get to it soon.

FYI - This article on javascript based encryption makes some excellent points.

Hi everyone,
I'm considering using QuantConnect for my business's needs and this seems to be a large concern for us, despite the assurances from the FAQ/transparency statement.
Since it is easy enough to implement, has any progress been made and/or has it been completed already?
Jared Broad
Hi Joe; as mentioned in the article any encryption would be a false sense of security. If you're truly worried you can use the open source project. We put alot of effort into making sure it works seamlessly.
