Make investment research suck less.

My team and I are building AllMind because we want people in finance to have more time for the work that drew them to it: understanding businesses, testing ideas, and forming their own views.

When I was a quant at some of the world’s top firms, I saw talented people spend their time editing cells in Excel. I kept asking how much of that effort was helping them reach a better conclusion.

I also saw extremely intelligent people, including Oxford PhDs, leave top quant jobs and become farmers. It made me think about what would make a career in finance feel worth staying in.

Good research takes effort. You have to follow the evidence, test assumptions, and be willing to change your mind. Hunting for files, copying data between tools, and repeating the same manual steps leave less time for that thinking. Day after day, that repetition becomes soul-crushing.

Those experiences shaped a question we now work on together: How can we give people better tools, make the day more rewarding, and leave more room to explore?

That’s what we set out to do with AllMind. Our goal is to make investment research suck less and make the day itself more rewarding for professionals.

To me, creativity in finance means having time to follow an unexpected finding, test a different scenario, or challenge an accepted view. We want that kind of thinking to be a normal part of the working day.

We’re building AllMind to bring research, data, and tools into one platform for buy-side, sell-side, and corporate teams across institutional finance.

You should be able to investigate a question, work through the evidence, and explain your conclusion without moving information between hundreds of disconnected systems that don’t talk to each other.

We want AI to handle the computer work it’s better at, so people can focus on what they’re uniquely capable of: coming up with new, creative ways to solve problems and develop insights.

We are not here to make a data point come in a little bit faster. We are not here to make information 1% or 2% easier to access. We are not here to build another bullshit AI tool.

We want people to finish the day having learned something, tested an idea, or reached a conclusion they can explain. That is the future we’re working to build together at AllMind.

Research is still going to suck, but at least it’ll suck less with AllMind.
