#9 - Ron Nachum: Raising $8.7M to Build Autonomous AI Coworkers for Financial Analysis
Ron Nachum is the co-founder and CEO of Sapien, an AI company developing “autonomous co-workers” for financial analysis.
After seeing how much time investment advisors waste on repetitive financial tasks he dropped out of his computer science at stats degree at Harvard to create a solution alongside his close friends.
In just 9 months, they’ve raised $8.7 million in funding led by General Catalyst, and attracted a range of paying customers across industries like healthcare and manufacturing.
They’re able to reduce over a 100 hours of manual work to just five minutes and are now on a mission to land partnerships and contracts with Fortune 500 companies.
