CEO & Co-Founder - WealthTech

FutureSight is hiring an experienced and visionary Founding CEO for a B2B fintech data platform. The new venture is revolutionizing how asset managers handle investment data. Portfolio managers spend hours daily processing unstructured information, leading to inefficiency and high costs. The platform consolidates and analyzes data from multiple sources into one platform, providing AI-driven insights and real-time summaries. Targeting small to mid-sized firms with $100M to $10B in assets as the initial market, our solution enables faster, smarter investment decisions, transforming the asset management process for better efficiency and returns.

We are aiming to launch in early 2025.
