Agentic signal research engine working on a fund's own data

Y Combinator-backed New York company selling an agentic research engine to hedge funds and institutions that generates signal hypotheses, codes and backtests them, and tracks them in production. Agents operate inside the fund's own data, mandate and risk limits; it raised $5M in 2026.

GAII take
Validation discipline is the real product; assess multiple-testing controls before trusting agent-generated signals.
