Bassam Chaptini is the co-founder and co-CEO of Avantos, a New York fintech building an AI-native operating system for client management in financial services. An MIT-trained AI PhD, former McKinsey partner, and founding CTO of no-code pioneer Unqork, he spent years watching banks and wealth managers drown in siloed client data. In 2024 he and co-founder Rabih Ramadi launched Avantos to fix it with a knowledge graph and AI agents that shadow advisors through onboarding, servicing, and growth. In February 2026 the company raised a $25M Series A led by Bessemer, with strategic backing from Vanguard, SEI, and Guardian Life.
Rabih Ramadi is the co-founder and CEO of Avantos, a New York fintech building an AI-native operating system for client onboarding and servicing inside banks, asset managers, and insurers. He spent a career on the inside of financial services - technology strategy at The Bank of New York, leading capital markets as a senior partner at KPMG, then helping build Unqork from the ground floor as a founding team member and chief revenue officer - before deciding the client-service layer of finance needed to be rebuilt around a knowledge graph and AI agents. In early 2026 Avantos raised a $25 million Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing total funding to $35 million.
