We wanted an investment analyst.
We built one instead.

Four years running a fund. Every tool we needed, we had to build ourselves.

We built this for ourselves first.

In 2021, at 21 and 22 years old, we left Goldman Sachs to start a hedge fund. We raised $10M, ran quant systematic trading for four years, and built every research tool we couldn’t buy. In 2025, we turned that internal stack into Kimpton, for the rest of the buy side.

AI can’t trade. Portfolio managers can. That’s the difference. We automate the research so you can make the decisions, consolidating data, running analysis, and surfacing conviction-backed proposals. We free you from the grinding work that keeps you from what only you can do: think, judge, and decide.

Alongside institutional investors, we’re building a new standard for how portfolio managers work.

Principles, not
platitudes.

01

The PM always decides.

We're not an auto-trader. Every recommendation lands in your hands, not a broker's API.

02

Every number sourced.

Financial facts are cited to filings, transcripts, or live data. Hallucinations don't ship.

03

Your mandate is the system prompt.

Your files define the rules. The AI inherits your style, your constraints, your worldview.

04

Built by people who sat in the chair.

We ran the fund. We did the grunt work. We built the tool we wanted.

If any of this
resonates.Come say hello.

We’d like to hear from anyone thinking about this problem too.
