OUR SPONSORS & PARTNERS

Headline Sponsor

Saphyre leverages patented AI technology to digitize all pre-trade data and activities across multiple counterparties: from asset owners to investment managers, hedge funds to prime brokers, any client firms to broker-dealers and custodians, and much more. Saphyre’s platform maintains memory of data and documents, resulting in clients not having to search or resubmit information, and expedites flow in a digitally structured manner so that it can be consumed and understood by any permissioned counterparty in the finance industry.

This allows firms not only to assess risk faster but they can speed their onboarding processes, get real-time ready-to-trade statuses per account, and eliminate 70%-75% of redundant or inefficient post-trade activities.

SAPHYRE: A MEETING OF MINDS AND IDEAS

Launched by brothers Stephen and Gabino Roche, Saphyre is transforming the onboarding space

There is an air of dynamism to Saphyre. It's not just that it's a new companyor that it happens to be an innovative fintech startup. Rather, the energy can be put down to the brothers themselves, whose energetic and upbeat ways of working seem to infiltrate all areas of the company.

It is this same energy that almost certainly results in the duo launching Saphyre in 2017, and creating a company that neatly differentiated itself from its competitors in the marketplace. The Roche brothers realised that silos and poor user experiences were benefitting no one in the pre-trade space.

They decided that nothing less than a wholesale disruption of the status quo would satisfy their desire to democratise trading. Today, Saphyre is an easy-to-use, integrated pre-trade onboarding platform for the exchange of data and documents between asset managers, brokers, custodians, thirdparty administrators, and clients.

Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, the company is run by an experienced financial team that have created a streamlined fintech/regtech communication platform to speed processes in order to help our clients achieve revenue faster.

FACING A CHALLENGE

In a recent interview for FinTech Magazine Saphyre’s CEO, Gabino (Stephen is President) told us that despite the challenges of the pandemic, Saphyre has weathered the storm and become more reliant and agile as a result.

Gabino explained, “We were a little nervous in the beginning because meeting facetoface with clients is an important thing when building a business. Saphyre is a technology company, so it wasn't hard for us to handle going remote, but we were afraid that would create a dip in our client engagement.”

They needn’t have worried, because by utilising video conferencing software and saving travel time between engagements, Saphyre actually managed to create more opportunities than ever.

Now, as a degree of normality is gradually restored to life and work in the US, Gabino states that lessons learned regarding remote working’s efficacy for the business will not be forgotten.

SCALING TO SUCCESS

Saphyre has achieved the lofty ambition it set out in 2017, with the development of its integrated onboarding platform.

HEADLINE SPONSOR
8 November 2022

Saphyre: A meeting of minds and ideas

The fintech’s innovative buy-side portal is being constantly developed to align with and progress this overarching vision. Information that was previously siloed for the community - and therefore difficult to link - has been released through the company’s expanded offerings for the security services space. Now fund accountants, transfer agents, security services, and outsourced middle office teams can now work on behalf of the buyside firms.

Earlier this year, the fintech also announced its strategic partnership with Symphony, Symphony, a financial markets’ infrastructure, and technology platform, to integrate patented AI technology into pre and post-trade workflows for the front, middle and back-office teams.

It continues to move from strength to strength.

SERVICES PROVIDED BY SAPHYRE

• Digitises pre-trade to benefit post-trade

• Disrupts a broken system by organising the onboarding process

• Design principles: Saphyre currently has 67 patents to help aggregate metadata to maintain memory and avoid redundancies

• Offers a rich suite of tools and many clients prefer to work directly within its platform

MOSTLY AI Synthetic Data Platform

MOSTLY AI was founded in 2017 in Vienna, Austria, by Michael Platzer, Klaudius Kalcher and Roland Boubela, three distinguished data scientists.

They realised early on the potential of using AI to generate structured business data and to create what we now call synthetic data. Back then this was not much more than an idea. It was unclear how the process was going to work, since no previous research or competitors existed in the space.

The inspiration came from the unstructured data domain where the first artificially created synthetic images were produced. The three co-founders experienced the

challenges companies were facing with traditional data anonymisation. These challenges only increased as GDPR was introduced in Europe in 2018. MOSTLY AI released the first version of its Synthetic Data Platform at the same time and proved to the world that synthetic data has a vast potential.

Why? Because climate change demands action at such a rate that will allow

governments, businesses, and other organisations to reverse the effects of the industrial revolution.

Leaders with a stake in e-mobility will come together for an evening to talk about the necessary shift in business strategy, which is having ripple effects on industries, consumer culture, and the overall health of the planet.
