Matterfact is built by people who have worked a hedge fund desk and people who built frontier AI at Google and Apple.

Why this team

Most AI for finance comes from teams that know the models or the desk. Matterfact's team knows both: it has traded systematically, covered equities as analysts and built Google Search, Google Gemini and Apple's Siri. That is why the product does the analyst's job correctly, with every number sourced.

Founders

Co-founder and CEO

Traded as a quant at WorldQuant, the systematic arm of Millennium, and covered equities as an analyst at Nomura, then engineered Google Search, the largest information-retrieval system ever built. Matterfact is the product the CEO wanted at 6 AM before a print: a great analyst's judgment with a search engine's recall.

Background: WorldQuant, Millennium, Nomura, Google Search.

Co-founder and CTO

Co-authored a core paper behind Google Gemini and led knowledge graph work for Apple's Siri. A CS PhD candidate at UNC and an IIT Bombay graduate. Turns the hardest financial language, from hedged guidance to off-script podcast remarks to footnoted filings, into structured answers an analyst can cite.

Background: Google Gemini, Apple Siri, UNC, IIT Bombay.
