Rogo

Rogo envisions a future where financial professionals are empowered by a deeply intelligent AI teammate that elevates the speed, accuracy, and reliability of financial research. Our mission is to revolutionize Wall Street by bringing bespoke AI solutions that seamlessly integrate with complex financial workflows, enabling smarter and faster decision-making across elite institutions.

Harnessing advanced large language models tuned specifically for finance, alongside vast multimodal data sources, we are creating the first true AI analyst that is secure, auditable, and capable of delivering real-time insights. By embedding this technology directly into the daily fabric of financial work, Rogo aims to expand collective capacity and transform how investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms operate.

Our commitment is to build a future where AI not only automates mundane tasks but also amplifies human expertise, making financial research more efficient, transparent, and impactful. Through innovative partnerships and relentless technological advancement, Rogo is setting a new standard for AI-driven finance.

We've seen plenty of AI startups promise to revolutionize finance, but Rogo actually delivers. This isn't another chatbot slapped with a financial label — it's a purpose-built platform that understands the nitty-gritty of investment banking, private equity, and hedge fund work.

What caught our attention first was the founding team's pedigree. Gabriel Stengel and John Willett aren't tech bros playing in finance; they're former Lazard and J.P. Morgan veterans who actually lived the pain points they're solving. When you add CTO Tumas Rackaitis's hedge fund trading background, you get a team that speaks fluent Wall Street.

The Real Deal on Data

Here's where Rogo gets interesting — they've cracked the code on financial data integration. While most AI tools struggle with industry-specific jargon or rely on outdated information, Rogo continuously ingests fresh data from 65+ million sources. We're talking SEC filings, market research, private company intel, all unified with your internal docs.

The platform doesn't just search and summarize either. It actually understands financial concepts well enough to generate PowerPoint slides and Excel reports that don't look like they were made by a confused intern.

Why the Big Names Are Betting Big

The $68 million in funding from Khosla Ventures, Thrive Capital, J.P. Morgan, and Tiger Global tells a story. But what really impressed us was Rogo becoming OpenAI's premier finance partner. That's not a title you get by accident — it means OpenAI trusts them to represent their tech in one of the most demanding, risk-averse industries on the planet.

The fact that thousands of finance professionals are already using the platform speaks volumes. These aren't early adopters willing to tolerate buggy software — they're professionals where mistakes cost millions.

Who Should Pay Attention

If you're at an investment bank, PE firm, or hedge fund still drowning in manual research and report generation, Rogo deserves a serious look. The platform seems tailor-made for teams that need AI they can actually trust with client-facing work.

We're particularly intrigued by their "buy-and-build" offering for firms wanting custom AI solutions. It suggests Rogo isn't just selling software — they're positioning themselves as the go-to AI infrastructure partner for sophisticated financial institutions.
