MJ Kim Keeps Changing the Vehicle, Not the Obsession
Before AYC Fund, there were children’s dresses, a borrowed customer-service name and ten-minute delivery. MJ Kim’s career is a study in letting the market edit the plan.
Christina Qi
Christina Qi is the CEO of Databento, an on-demand market-data platform for quants and asset managers, and a founding partner of Domeyard LP, one of the longest-running high-frequency trading hedge funds in the world. She started Domeyard from an MIT dorm room with $1,000 in savings, grew it to trade billions of dollars a day, then wound it down and built Databento to fix the broken market-data infrastructure that had frustrated her for a decade. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, MIT trustee, and financial-literacy advocate, Qi turned a rough start into a career spent lowering the barriers to Wall Street for everyone else.
Bankole Omodunbi
Bankole Omodunbi is the co-founder, CEO and CTO of Verbwire, a Web3 infrastructure startup that turns weeks of Solidity, Hardhat and wallet configuration into a single REST API call. A former Managing Director in equities quant trading at Credit Suisse with 16+ years on Wall Street, he left banking in 2021 to build developer tooling that lets engineers deploy smart contracts, mint NFTs, move assets cross-chain and spin up wallets using familiar languages like Python and Java. Verbwire raised a $12.3M Series A and is based in the New York area.
