William C. Feeley is the founder and managing officer of Barometer Trading, LLC, an equity long/short fund built on a single obsession: not losing money. A 44-year capital markets veteran who helped corporate issuers raise tens of billions through IPOs and secondary offerings at firms like Bankers Trust, Kemper Securities and Wit SoundView, Feeley later ran the experiment most of Wall Street would never try - he hired and trained formerly incarcerated, prison-educated people as analysts and traders, and the desk beat its hedge-fund benchmark by more than 18% per year for 39 months. A Georgetown BSBA with a Loyola Chicago MBA and a CAIA charter, he is part trader, part operator, part believer in second chances.
Noel Moldvai is the co-founder and CEO of Augment, a FINRA-registered marketplace that lets accredited investors buy and sell shares of late-stage private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI and Stripe with order-book style trading. A former Google engineer and founding engineer at Rubrik, where he felt the pain of locked-up employee equity firsthand, he built Augment from beta to a roughly $10M run rate in about 18 months, profitably, crossing $400M+ in trade volume and raising about $16M. Berkeley EECS grad, holder of 10+ patents, and a self-described metalhead who plays guitar and drums.
