Matt Watson
Matt Watson is the co-founder and CEO of Origin, a Boston-based fintech that in September 2025 launched what it calls the first SEC-regulated AI financial advisor. A former Citigroup high-yield credit trader who previously co-founded Indio Technologies (acquired by Applied Systems in 2019), Watson has raised more than $75 million for Origin from Founders Fund, Felicis, General Catalyst and 01A to make certified-financial-planner-quality advice available to people who normally can't afford it.
