Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company. To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are exceptional, allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and recruiters of other exceptional people. We also have no tolerance for brilliant jerks. We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience. Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook. In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company.
