About the Company
Our partner is an early-stage fintech company building a product for institutional finance. The company is actively working with major investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds, and is backed by strong investors including OpenAI’s Startup Fund. With a lean, technical-first team in place, the company is now building out its foundational go-to-market function.
