We are an early-stage FinTech and algorithmic trading startup bridging the gap between institutional quantitative execution and the everyday retail trader. Over 90% of retail options traders lose capital not because of bad market data, but due to psychological failure - revenge trading, over-leveraging, and lack of strict risk discipline. We build proprietary AI-driven automated trading tools and rule-based execution systems that eliminate human emotion from the market. By pairing data-backed algorithmic models with automated risk management protocols, our tools help traders execute with precision, hard-cap their daily drawdowns, and protect their capital. Our Mission: Democratize institutional-grade execution tools so retail traders can trade systematically, not emotionally. Our Core Focus: Indian derivative markets (Nifty and Bank Nifty Options), quantitative backtesting, and automated risk enforcement. Our Culture: Fast-moving, remote-first, and merit-driven. We empower early talent to take direct ownership of product growth, distribution, and quantitative research.

Mason is building the AI workforce management platform for construction. We help contractors run their entire back office — time tracking, HR, payroll, compliance, and communication — without the manual work that slows teams down. Today, managing labor in construction is fragmented across paper field notes, spreadsheets, text messages, emails, HR platforms, payroll systems, benefits websites, and accounting tools. These workflows are ripe for unification and automation through AI and modern, cloud-based systems that connect the field and back office. Mason replaces firms' siloed tools with a single platform that connects the field to the office in real time — capturing hours, simplifying HR, running payroll, and ensuring compliance automatically. Our platform saves teams 20+ hours per week by eliminating repetitive data entry and reducing errors across HR, payroll and accounting. Workers get a modern, intuitive way to track time and manage their pay, while office teams receive clean, structured data that flows directly into payroll and job costing systems. Construction is the least-digitized major industry in the U.S. — and we’re changing that. Mason is a NYC-based, venture-backed company on a mission to bring AI-first workflows to the field. Come build the future with us! About our team: Our team is led by Matt Kozlowski (former Chief of Staff at Plaid) and Jef Chedeville (3x acquired/exited founder - previously co-founded YC-backed HR SaaS HigherMe).

Gridline is here to redefine how private markets operate, making them faster, smarter, and more accessible. We are setting a new standard by building the Turnkey Alternatives Management Platform (TAMP) to help wealth managers run private market programs at scale. As a ledger-native system of record, Gridline provides a single source of truth that tracks the entire investment lifecycle down to the transaction layer, enabling RIAs, family offices, and private banks to manage their private markets business in one place. Our team brings deep experience across both enterprise technology and alternative investments to build the infrastructure layer the industry has always lacked. Backed by an $18.5M Series A led by FINTOP, we are creating the systems and structuring the data required to define the next generation of private market investing. Are you up to the challenge?
