Bio
Ryan Samadi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Alt-X, building AI infrastructure for financial services. Before Alt-X, he worked at Citadel’s commodities fund. Ryan also studied Computer Science at Stanford, focusing on AI, where he also led a hedge-fund investing program. He founded Alt-X after seeing how even the most sophisticated investors still rely on Excel and manual analysis—and is now building the platform that will replace it.
