From data wrangling to stakeholder consumption
Highly technical and innovative but not without a deep understanding of slow-moving incumbent institutions
We take ownership of your data - over its entire lifecycle
Problems we have solved
We need to know how our private investment shapes up to its public peers on a realtime basis
We want to know in advance how valuable our leads are so we can allocate them fairly to our sales team
The owner of a mission-critical internal tool with hundreds of users is retiring...and we need a new one fast!
Using the Bloomberg Terminal API we developed a bespoke dashboard to help mark current investments to market and identify new private investment opportunities in the distressed financial services asset class
Despite the roots of this problem being human-based and complicated, we deployed some best-in-breed scraping libraries to re-establish harmony among the client's sales team
An impressive and preapproved-by-regulators solution was already present but it was far too complicated for users — so we plugged into its API and created a highly user-friendly web app to empower the front office to give accurate quotes so they can close deals
Our team
We have over 15 years combined expreience. Each successful in our own right, we have found much synergy between our skillsets and networks and so have decided to operate as a unified firm. We have found considerable cross-pollination between fields: using genetic algorithms for marketing, applying web scraping techniques for front-office functions and applying options pricing models to genomics pipelines.

University of North Carolina (Quantitative Biology and Math Major) and University of Cambridge (Computational Biology)W-2 experience in banking, hedge fund and fintech—consulting experience in many more domainsAt the technological forefront of one of the most successful bank transformations everBio
Derek finished his Master's in the UK in 2019. Aside from a brief stint designing algorithms for in-game sports betting on the MLB, he has focused on the tech ecosystem of financial services companies. He operated on the tech optimization team of the PE-enabled transformation of Hamburg Commercial Bank — one of the most successful bank turnarounds to date. This gave him an eye for not only the tech itself but its role within the organization, both as a cost center and a revenue enabler. He understands that while new tech can be exciting it is often at its best when it gets out of the way. Derek has consulted for a few other companies in the fintech, govtech and sports betting space where he created, deployed and presented various models to senior management. In his spare time Derek enjoys playing music, squash and indoor rowing.

The Scientist
Highlights
University of Cambridge Bachelor's, Master's and PhD in High Performance Computing for Statistical GeneticsWell-published scientistComfortable at the tera-scale, not intimidated by the peta-scaleBio
Alice hails from Dorset, England but has spent her entire educational career in Cambridge (first England, then Massachussetts). Coming from a family of academics, Alice is a scientist at heart. She adores the works of Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins and the like. As human evolution is her greatest fascination, she has developed world-class skills surrounding the data ecosystem of all of the -omics data. From ancient DNA sequenced from a bone, to a RNA-seq data from a tumor, she knows how to quickly load and process any and all -omic data in a way that drives both academic and clinical results. Due to the massive scale of this data she has had no choice but to also become expert the computational ecosystem, going far deeper than most into linux command-line tools and high performance computing. When you have a three-day deadline for a script requiring three days to run, and you have to get it right, Alice is one of the few who can get it done. She is also highly cited as an academic.
