“By taking care of that for them, we are democratising access to machine learning and allowing investors to focus on the human talent and domain expertise that truly differentiate their businesses.”
Co-founded by Abe, Joshua Pantony, and Jon Dorando in 2017, Boosted.ai currently caters to over 40 active clients.
These include family offices with about $10m in assets under management (AUM) as well as asset managers with over $1trn in AUM, according to the company
