Founding Story of Ninefin
Ninefin was founded out of a personal frustration with the lack of technological solutions in the finance sector. The founder's background in leveraged finance highlighted the inefficiencies in data collection and analysis during his tenure in banking. After discussing these issues with a friend from university, the idea to leverage AI for financial data extraction was born. This venture has since grown to nearly 300 employees across London and New York, assisting large financial institutions with innovative technology.
