About Samaya
Samaya builds Expert AI Agents that turn information from the global financial market into investment conviction.
The global financial market is the largest and most valuable information ecosystem in the world, connecting billions of people, influencing every type of productive human activity, and driving tens of trillions of dollars of value. At its core is investment decision-making: identifying areas of productive activity, allocating resources, carried out by millions of people across the globe.
But that process is at a breaking point. The past two decades have brought an exponential increase in market complexity: more information sources, more asset types, more disruptive themes like AI reshaping every corner of the market. For investors, this means exponentially more depth, breadth, and speed required on every decision.
The response is a forced tradeoff: zoom in on a sector or basket of companies and manage the flood, but lose sight of adjacent dynamics that move markets. Or zoom out to track broad themes, but lose the needle-in-a-haystack details that drive precise decisions. No market sector evolves in isolation, and this lack of a simultaneously zoomed-in and zoomed-out picture costs hundreds of billions in missed or suboptimal investment decisions every year.
Samaya was founded to reimagine investment decision-making across the global financial market. General-purpose AI can’t reason about cause and effect across complex economic systems, embed firm-specific context, or execute reliably over long-horizon workflows. We built something different: a purpose-built AI system combining proprietary financial reasoning models, a long-horizon execution engine with persistent memory, and full auditability. Built by a team from Google DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, and Stanford with 100+ papers and 50k+ citations, it achieves 98% accuracy on financial reasoning tasks where generic LLMs reach 53%. The result is AI that learns how each investor thinks and seamlessly takes them from information to conviction.
Our user base has scaled to 10,000+, with partnerships spanning top financial institutions worldwide, including Morgan Stanley. We’re backed by $43.5M in Series A funding led by NEA, with investors including Eric Schmidt, NVIDIA, Databricks, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, Marty Chavez, and Mark Cuban.
Our Operating Principles
Put Users first. Our users rely on us to do their jobs. We exist because our users trust us to help them achieve their goals. In return for this trust users place in us, we keep their needs as our top priority.
Win as a collective. We are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We build strong bonds over this shared drive. We dive in to help when one of us needs it. We’re kind to each other and boost each other to succeed and grow professionally and personally. We build trust with each other by making commitments and consistently delivering on them. This trust means we genuinely support each other, embracing feedback as a tool for growth and improvement. We win by operating this way, as one team.
Focus and iterate quickly. Bias for action makes us build and learn quickly. Iterating fast requires clarity on what outcomes we are targeting and why. Prioritizing the important things, taking full ownership and initiative, making fast initial progress, and rapid iterations lead to the best outcomes.
Innovate Relentlessly. We pursue novel insights, challenging the status quo and reimagining how things are done. We aren’t attached to the past when improving our product and how we work in the future. We actively invest time in innovation, thinking “outside the box” to consistently raise our standards.
Prioritize Outcomes over Egos. We are committed not to a person, an idea, or an opinion but to continuously making progress to our goals. Sometimes, our goals are ambiguous; in those moments, we iterate, learn, and move on to the next inquiry. We ask the tough questions with kindness, dropping our egos in our pursuit of evidence. For our business goals, we learn from our users. For our scientific goals, our understanding is built through rigorous experimentation, research, and observation. For our personal goals, we embrace candid feedback and collaborative learning to guide our progress.
