Top Tech Startups in Northern California in 2024

Co-founded in 2007 by two leading scientists, The Voleon Group combines an academic approach to research with an emphasis on scalability and risk management to deliver cutting-edge technology at the forefront of the finance industry. Many of our leaders and employees hold doctorates in statistics, computer science, and mathematics, among other quantitative disciplines. We are committed to exemplary performance in all aspects of our research and operations, while maintaining a culture of intellectual curiosity and flexibility. Voleon’s CEO holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford and previously founded and led a successful technology startup. Our Chief Investment Officer/Head of Research is a Statistics faculty member at UC Berkeley, where he earned his Ph.D. At Voleon, we approach investment management through the prism of machine learning, in which flexible statistical models are applied to the problem of financial prediction. Rather than having humans look at individual events within the marketplace, machine learning employs statistical algorithms capable of detecting persistent effects across large swaths of data. Besides financial markets, there is a wide array of other real-life applications for machine learning, from medical diagnosis to weather prediction.

It is the lowest latency, optimistically-responsive BFT protocol available, and it features a robust, on-chain reputation system and novel methods for parallel execution — a key enabler of speed at scale. We will rapidly deploy many key innovations in performance, functionality and improvements to the overall user experience and leverage our ability to do major upgrades seamlessly in the process.

Remoov is enabling the circular economy by making it simple to upcycle unwanted goods, ensuring we end up with value in hand rather than at the dumpster.

Remoov will pick up anything that a person wants to sell, donate or recycle. We charge a pickup fee based on the volume collected and then the owner receives 50% of the resale proceeds as well as donation receipts. Items collected for resale are on consignment and processed through resale through our proprietary data extraction and appraisal process.
