THE ORIGIN​​​​​​​

19 | The Sandbox: Automated Tinder (swipes, openers, date-setting) because swiping is a colossal waste of life. Got banned by Tinder.​

20 | The Pivot: Couldn't work in AI, defense or nuclear - gatekept by capital and/or regulation. Decided to build a quant fund instead after reading about Jim Simons/RenTec in More Money Than God. Launched Blackrose.​​

23 | Escape Velocity: The code cracked after 3 years of grind. Blackrose started printing in COVID. Licensed algorithms to institutional investors. $30M+ in profits over 5 years @ 3+ Sharpe.​​​

29 | The Exit: Shut down Blcakrose to escape the local maxima of trading (relative to my skills and the opportunity landscape).​​

Now | New Era: Building RAETH to push the frontier of financial superintelligence.
