Summary

What we do

We’re a Y Combinator funded startup building the first end-to-end agentic workflow for real-time onboarding decisions. Before a new customer is onboarded to a bank/fintech, a decision has to be made on their risk profile (identity, sanctions, adverse media). Our agents make those decisions themselves.

There are two components of our solution that require serious engineering:

  • Robotic process automation (RPA) agent equipped with LLMs in an industry where mistakes cost $250k minimum. Think Claude Computer Use, but better.

  • A knowledge graph of all the bad people in the world. LLMs, graph databases and website-agnostic scraping - all at scale.

The Team

Alexandre Berkovic (CEO) has research experience at Imperial and MIT, specializing in multi-modal generative AI models. Previously founded an audio generation startup.

Chrisjan Wust (CTO) was the 1st employee and Head of ML at RelyComply, where he scaled the company from 0 to 12M users. He’s experienced compliance problems firsthand and built ML pipelines that led to a deal with Africa’s largest bank.
