About Finpilot
Finpilot is an AI-native operating system designed to modernize how institutional investment offices operate. The Seattle-based company serves allocators, RIAs, endowments, foundations, pensions, outsourced CIOs, and wealth managers by unifying five traditionally separate pre-AI systems—CRM, research management, portfolio management, interactions, and documents—into a cohesive AI-native infrastructure. With approximately $1M ARR and zero customer churn, Finpilot has achieved remarkable traction, growing nearly 10x in a year and now serving more live institutions than its 8-10 person team. Backed by leading venture firms Madrona and Ascend, the company is led by founders with deep expertise in quantitative finance and elite engineering, including a former AI leader from a quantitative hedge fund and engineers from top-tier startups. Finpilot's mission is to enable every institutional investment office to leverage AI-native infrastructure, fundamentally transforming how capital is managed at scale.
Culture & values
Team of eight people hired for raw intelligence and work ethic over years of experience
Preference for small team of exceptional people over large team of good ones
Everyone owns their work end to end across back end, front end, infrastructure, AI, and client communication
No product manager assigning tasks, no QA team to hand off to, no engineering manager asking what you did yesterday
Team teaches each other how to prioritize, stay in tight communication loop, and ship
New engineers have their work in front of real users within days of starting, often with client in the room
Team members come from quant finance, elite engineering shops, and companies they built themselves
Stay personally close to clients whose capital depends on what the team builds
Work together five days a week in one office in Seattle
Being around the people who depend on you makes you deliver better
AI writes most of the code, engineering work is the judgment on top of it

This startup is building the future AI OS for traders, starting with a modern web & mobile trading platform with an integrated AI coach, journaling, and more.
Augustus is building the global dollar bank. Moving dollars across borders still runs on correspondent banking, a chain of intermediaries that is slow, opaque, and expensive. Augustus replaces it with programmable USD and EUR accounts, direct clearing and settlement, and an AI-native core banking platform built from scratch. The moat is the license. Augustus holds OCC conditional approval for a US national bank charter, which is rare and very hard to replicate, and euro clearing is live today for customers including Kraken. $180M Series B at a $1B valuation, led by Tiger Global with QED, plus operators from Nubank, Ramp, Circle, Revolut, and Coinbase.
