Valkyrie Trading was formed in Chicago in 2011 with the intent of embracing trading opportunities and technology in the modern financial marketplace. Positioned in the heart of the derivatives trading capital of the world, Valkyrie aims to provide liquidity to various disjoint, competitive financial markets. Unlike hedge funds, mutual funds or banks, Valkyrie has no investors or clients and trades only its own capital. Such a structure allows our employees the freedom to focus on trading and the growth of our business. Operating for ourselves, we dynamically price, model, and manage risk across a spectrum of derivative products. Our lean size and fierce growth appetite commits us to building cutting-edge technology from the ground up. We move nimbly and decisively to target the opportunities present in our market niche. Although our trading is primarily quantitative and electronic, we maintain indispensable links to the over-the-counter and traditional floor markets alike.

Sandbar's mission is to improve the health of the global financial system by fighting money laundering and other financial crimes. By law, financial institutions must monitor transactions for illicit activity. However, most institutions find it difficult to do so effectively. Roughly $6T is laundered every year and $180B is spent on anti-money-laundering efforts by US institutions. Despite this, less than 1% of laundered money is identified correctly. We are also seeing many systems produce false-positive rates of over 95%. Consequently, banks and the government must spend extra time and resources on extraneous investigations, taking away resources from finding criminals. To provide better results, we ingest millions of messy data points, standardize that data, and run a complex suite of proprietary calculations designed to detect suspicious activity. Our product automatically monitors activity and helps risk teams by putting necessary information at their fingertips. We provide information accessibility, build intuitive workflows, and allow for custom processing. Doing better can help cut off funding for kidnappers, human traffickers, terrorists, scammers, and other bad actors as well as reduce the effort and costs associated with developing and maintaining internal AML programs.

We’re building a platform that powers the biggest AI groups in the world, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google with human feedback data for evaluating and training their models.

Instead of outsourcing to call centers overseas, we’ve built an elite workforce based in the US, custom annotation tools, and sophisticated quality control systems. Our product has been a “game-changer” for ML teams, and we’ve been able to run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.
