Straterix is a New Jersey-based fintech that builds AI-driven scenario generation and stress-testing software for banks, insurers, pension funds, corporates and regulators. Founded in 2015 by Alla Gil, Joseph Dafni and Dan Galai, its platform uses machine learning and data mining to generate thousands of forward-looking economic scenarios, letting institutions run reverse stress tests, optimize capital and liquidity, and turn regulatory compliance exercises into strategic planning tools.

Taylor Pearson is the CEO and co-founder of Mutiny Fund, a multi-strategy long volatility and tail-risk hedge fund whose sub-advisors manage over $10 billion in client assets. Before building Mutiny, he wrote 'The End of Jobs' (2015), an Amazon #1 bestseller translated into five languages that argued entrepreneurship had become safer than employment. He runs 'Interesting Times,' a monthly newsletter for 27,000+ founders, investors, and executives exploring complex systems, finance, and the future of work. A former college football offensive lineman who once marched for Bolivian workers' rights in Argentina, Pearson cold-called his way into digital marketing at minimum wage before buying a software company and eventually co-founding a hedge fund - all while living across eight countries.
