A quantitative analyst turned repeat entrepreneur, he spent seven years at WorldQuant rising to VP of Portfolio Management and the CEO's office before co-founding the talent platform EntHire (acquired by InfoEdge/BigShyft) and then TrueFoundry in 2021 alongside two IIT Kharagpur batchmates. TrueFoundry has raised $21.3M in total funding - including a $19M Series A led by Intel Capital in February 2025 - and serves Fortune 1000 companies seeking to run AI workloads without infrastructure complexity or data-sovereignty tradeoffs.
Menos AI
Menos AI is a San Jose-based, AI-native fintech building institutional-grade artificial intelligence for hedge funds and asset managers. Founded in 2024 by a team of quant and AI practitioners, its flagship product Sonar is an intelligent research agent that uses proprietary Alpha Signal Extraction technology to surface timely, differentiated investment ideas from the flood of financial data. The company raised a $5.2M oversubscribed seed round in 2025 and positions its platform as an augmentation layer for investment teams - secure, auditable, and designed to integrate with existing workflows rather than replace the humans who use it.
Allan Brik
Allan Brik is the CEO and managing founder of Everysk, a New York fintech building intelligent automation and risk workflows for capital markets. A structural engineer turned quant turned operator, he spent three decades managing risk at Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and the $14 billion hedge fund allocator Arden Asset Management before founding Everysk in 2013. He holds a PhD in Computer Aided Engineering from MIT and argues that cloud computing, open APIs, and agentic AI are quietly dismantling the spreadsheets and data silos that have governed investment management for decades.
Robert Huntsman
Robert Huntsman is the Chief Data Officer at iCapital, the platform that powers much of the world's alternative-investment marketplace. He runs the teams, technology, and governance that let the firm ingest, protect, and analyze data across private equity, hedge funds, and private credit. A Stanford-trained quantitative economist with CFA and FRM credentials, he previously ran a 150-plus-person data science group at Prudential Financial. His current obsession: pointing large language models at messy, unstructured fund documents so private markets can finally move at the speed of public ones.
Unlimited
Unlimited is a New York fintech that uses proprietary machine-learning technology to replicate the returns of hedge fund strategies inside low-cost, liquid ETFs. Founded in 2022 by former Bridgewater executive Bob Elliott, it aims to give everyday investors access to 2-and-20 style alternative strategies without the 2-and-20 fees, lockups, or opacity.
Richard Craib
Richard Craib is the South African-born founder and CEO of Numerai, the world's first AI-powered crowdsourced hedge fund. By encrypting financial data and opening it to thousands of anonymous data scientists globally - who stake NMR cryptocurrency on their models - Craib built a machine learning meta-model that now manages hundreds of millions in assets. In 2017 he pioneered the concept of a hedge fund issuing its own cryptocurrency. Backed by Paul Tudor Jones, Naval Ravikant, and JPMorgan, Numerai raised a $30M Series C at a $500M valuation in late 2025 and achieved a 25.45% net return in 2024.
