Eric Chang

Eric Chang is the co-founder and CEO of Claira, a New York fintech building domain-native, agentic AI for private credit and capital markets deal teams. A CFA charterholder with a Cornell engineering degree, he spent nearly two decades inside Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, AQR, and Morgan Stanley before deciding the real problem in finance was not faster analysts but firms that forget what they already know. Claira turns dense legal and credit documents into structured, queryable data and aims to become a firm's permanent decision-making memory. In June 2025 the company raised a $7M seed co-led by Barclays and Citi.
