We watched failures for years. We built this. And we put a puppy on our homepage.
Your mandate runs on 'Final_v3_USE_THIS.xlsx'. And you think our name is weird?
Boutique DPMs are managing institutional-scale complexity with non-institutional tools. This is not a technology gap. It is an access gap.
The systematic portfolio management infrastructure that institutional asset managers use as a matter of course has historically been inaccessible at boutique scale. The terminal costs are prohibitive. The integration complexity assumes a large technology team. The consumer robo-tools automate away the judgment that defines boutique wealth management. Vektor exists to close that gap.
We tell you what we cannot do before we tell you what we can. The What We Are Not document exists for a reason. Read it first.
The people who use this platform are responsible for other people’s money. That is not a context in which approximation is acceptable.
We are building this for the teams who chose to work differently. Not for everyone. For the ones who see the access gap and want it closed.
Three marks. One purpose.
Systematic listed equity portfolio management. Built from first principles. Documented in full.
We thought of it, we dismissed it as not serious. We spent several days on very serious, professional-sounding names. Entirely forgettable, all of them. One week later there was one name we still remembered, and we felt something for it we couldn’t explain or argue away. It’s still the name.
Before we built Vektor, we spent decades in the rooms where these projects fail. We wrote about it. Thirteen papers. Published under our own name. Not because it was comfortable — because it was accurate. Read the series →
Thirteen papers on structural failure modes in financial software implementation, written from experience in the rooms.
The founding team
The founders are in stealth until the seed round closes. The platform is not. Everything we know about how to build this is documented — in the architecture, the white papers, and the thirteen field-note papers we published before showing you anything. Read those first. The biography follows the round.
The platform is the evidence of who built it.
The Stock Analyst, Portfolio Manager, and Operations structure is not an interface design choice. It reflects the compliance architecture a licensed discretionary manager operates under — the specific points at which human sign-off is structurally required and cannot be designed away.
The allocation step fetches current market prices at the time of allocation — not yesterday’s close, and not the prices used during optimisation. The data ingestion layer accepts any structured OHLCV feed; Yahoo Finance was the reference implementation used to build and validate this workflow. See this in practice across SGX, NASDAQ, and LSE →
A record that can be changed is not an audit trail. The person who designed this schema has seen what a compliance team requires when reconstructing a decision twelve months later. These decisions are in the platform because they are solutions to things that went wrong in practice.
The CEO has built and operated systematic investment processes within licensed portfolio management environments across multiple international regulatory frameworks — including the custody architectures and compliance requirements applicable in Vektor’s target markets.
The CTO brings senior experience in production financial technology infrastructure — compliance-grade system architecture, data governance design, and institutional workflow engineering.
The CEO holds a production-grade institutional custodian API credentials with established access to multiple Tier 1 custodian institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. This credential — typically requiring years of institutional relationship and technical development — enables the institutional channel from the first client conversation. The platform’s order and trade API is pre-configured to OpenWealth standards from the first version — the institutional channel was not retrofitted.
Full identification — names, professional histories, verifiable references — is provided under mutual NDA at the point of commercial commitment: term sheet stage for Proof Partners, Stage 2 initiation for Alloy Partners.
