Hi all, I am going to be in SF 10-28 Nov, happy to catchup for coffee/drinks/lunch there, I am building financial digital workers for asset/wealth management in my company . Into AI/data for enterprise-smes. I also cofounded which is the fastest regional tech community in Italy, trying to build bridges with SF too (who doesn't like to be in Puglia these days?!)

we focus on neuro-symbolic AI for financial services, given their recent appetite in the application space, I think it's worth having a chat

Hi <@U08STNN8C6M> great to have you here!
#08_advice-questions - May 20, 2025 at 02:45 PM
what are the high density angel groups in the US you would recommend? A HBS alumnus strongly suggested their group, but I am wondering if you have direct experience with other groups (fast, transparent, decent checks)

👋 Hi all! It's great to be part of this dynamic community.
🇮🇹 Born and currently based in Italy, I’ve navigated a diverse path through quantitative finance, macro portfolio management, and fintech innovation in London.
🚀 Currently, I am cofounder-ceo of Etna Research, an AI company based in London focused on asset, wealth and treasury management. We are essentially offering (and keep building) an AI conversational agent that combines data scouting, data science, IT management and commercialization, one call away. We aim to bring r&d cost to zero and become the only AI partner you need to build effective solutions 24/7. Raised $1.2m already (and adding another $300k currently from US investors), good revenues in beta, $100m pipeline with Schwabs, Fidelity, and many others already in the waiting list for the full menu platform.
💡 I’m passionate about AI, deeptech and entrepreneurship. I cofounded a tech community in Italy called Pugliatechs () with the aim to create a mini SV (with potentially a lot of dual companies) in the best region in Italy for talent, lifestyle, and culture. I advise and sometimes invest in AI-first businesses in the US and Europe. I am also associate professor of Fintech at Bayes Business School, London.
🤝 How I can contribute:
• Product and GTM strategy
• Share intel on AI, fintech, capital markets and data-driven businesses
• Facilitate intros to the investor ecosystem (Angels, VC, PE)
• Facilitate connections in Europe (if you pop in Puglia/Italy for our physical events with PugliaTechs, let me know, we have folks coming from NYC too!)
• Offer a second opinion on technical products
📬 Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn:
