At Finster AI, we’re building an AI-native platform for investment research. We were founded in late 2023 by Sid Jayakumar, who had previously spent 7 years at Google DeepMind, and brought together a team with experience across startups and the breadth of financial services and leading AI labs. Our team has worked at places including Google DeepMind, JP Morgan, Aviva and Meta AI and we’re rapidly expanding while working with early customers. We raised a Pre-Seed in December 2023 from Hoxton Ventures, early backers of Deliveroo and Darktrace and will be announcing our Seed raise shortly.
We’re building a well-rounded team with multi-disciplinary expertise across product, AI, finance, UI/UX, and engineering to help in our goal of building AI agents that can read, analyse and integrate disparate sources of financial and market data. We’re building for the distinct demands of institutional investors, with accuracy, reliability and privacy at the core of our product.
