- **Founded**: 2014
- **Founders**: Glenn Dubin

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Investment Management / Quantitative Finance / Hedge Funds
- **Target customers**: Institutional investors (via private funds) and proprietary trading operations — predominantly B2B.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Implement scientific and mathematical methods to explore, isolate, and solve problems in the global financial markets” — with a core belief that systematic, research-driven strategies will outperform over time.

## Products & Services
- **Hedge Funds / Multi-Strategy Investment Platform**: The firm manages several private investment funds that combine systematic and selective discretionary approaches. Investment teams pursue independent strategies while leveraging shared infrastructure, risk management, and a proprietary data platform.
- **Quantitative Trading & Research**: In-house teams research and execute computer-driven strategies across equities, futures, and other asset classes, covering full trading lifecycles (alpha research, signal generation, portfolio construction, execution, risk management).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company).
- **Key Metric**: **Assets Under Management (AUM)** — approximately **US$4 billion** (as of 2025). The firm also raised an estimated **$300 million in total funding** per LinkedIn (though some sources list this as total capital raised; AUM is the more standard metric).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not publicly detailed. The firm operates as a Registered Investment Advisor (SEC) and Commodity Pool Operator (CFTC), with key leadership including **CEO Greg Eisner**.
- **Growth Signals**:

## Competitive Advantages
- **Quantitative & Technology Moat**: Deep integration of proprietary statistical models, machine learning, and a centralized data platform gives a persistent edge in signal discovery and execution.
- **Multi-Manager Model**: Allows independent investment teams to operate with autonomy while sharing best-in-class infrastructure, risk management, and operational support — attracting top talent.
- **Culture of Collaboration & Rigor**: The firm’s emphasis on open idea exchange, intellectual curiosity, and a “friendly but challenging” environment differentiates it from larger, more bureaucratic asset managers.
- **Talent Density**: Team composed of researchers, engineers, and financial professionals from top academic and industry backgrounds (e.g., math, physics, computer science, and prior quant trading experience).

## Strategic Focus
- **Multi‑Strategy Expansion**: Continuing to build a diversified platform that scales both systematic and discretionary strategies across global markets.
- **Technology & Data Leadership**: Investing in proprietary infrastructure to stay ahead of market microstructure changes and emerging data sources.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Aggressively recruiting quantitative researchers, engineers, and portfolio managers to support growth, especially in US, Europe, and Asia.
- **Risk Management & Alignment**: Maintaining a patient, disciplined approach to capital allocation with strong alignment between the firm, its investment teams, and its investors.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Collaborative, intellectually curious, and open — described as “as intellectually rewarding as life in academia and as inventive and dynamic as working at a start-up technology firm.”
- **Work‑Life Balance & Benefits**: “Superb benefits” including fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous vacation and personal days. The firm also supports social and philanthropic causes.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Most roles are based in office hubs (NYC, London, Singapore, Hong Kong), though some positions (e.g., U.S.‑based telecommuting roles) allow remote work. The firm explicitly touts flexibility for certain roles.
- **Engineering & Research Environment**: Emphasis on open‑source style sharing of ideas, use of state‑of‑the‑art tools (Python, ML/DL frameworks, large‑scale data pipelines), and exposure to full trading lifecycle.
