From idea to beating the hedge funds

Fintech startup · Product & DeFi Advisor · 2023 — 2025

Overview

Advised a trading venture from idea to product-market fit, until it outperformed directional hedge funds.

The challenge

An AI trading model with promise but no clear path to product-market fit, and a need to perform in both centralized and decentralized environments against established competition.

What I did

  • Advised the team on strategy across the journey from idea to product-market fit.
  • Applied DeFi expertise to get the most out of the proprietary AI trading model on multiple chains.
  • Shaped the approach that moved performance past directional crypto hedge funds.
