## YC company profile

The AI Quant: Autonomous Alpha Engine for Funds and Traders.

Founded by former WorldQuant portfolio manager & head of event driven systematic strategies Jeremie Cohen, KelAI is building the autonomous alpha engine for hedge funds, traders and institutional investors. 

Investment teams now have more data, tools and compute than ever, but research still runs across siloed systems and inefficient workflows. KelAI turns that fragmented process into a compounding AI-native engine that continuously finds, tests and validates trading signals at a pace no human team can match.
