Guiding Principles

What gives us the best chance of continuous success?

Choose Extraordinary People

Our success is in the hands of our team. We've brought together the brightest minds across mathematics, engineering and finance to unapologetically apply our unique perspective to deliver results that are redefining financial markets.

Ambitious Goals

We've set extremely ambitious goals for a reason. It's the only way to disrupt the industry - but more importantly it motivates us while reflecting our ethos. Our diverse set of professionals have all achieved something "impossible" or "new" before joining the team.

Precision Planning. Clarity in Communication

Our goals are audacious but we have the team to achieve them. For this, we need our whole to be "greater than the sum of the parts". A team can function at this level only with extreme emphasis on precise planning and communication.

Highly aligned but loosely coupled

We believe that trusting high-performance people working in the correct context is how you achieve the most ambitious goals in a fast and flexible manner.
