About

Built next to the buyer, not from a scraper demo.

The founder spent a product career with large insurance companies and asset managers across Asia. The real advantage is not the tech — scraping plus summarisation is commodity. It is domain relationships, credibility with the compliance buyer, and speed to a working pilot compared with a large FI’s internal build cycle.

Why asset managers first

The data is public and structured

Fund regulation forces disclosure of domicile, geography exposure, derivatives usage, and delegation. That is exactly what a matching engine needs, and it sits in public prospectuses.

Insurance product data is not

Policy wordings, reserving, and filings are far less standardised and far less public. A compelling public-data demo is much harder without internal access first.

The buyer already pays for data

Asset managers are culturally primed for third-party analytics. That shortens the path from a mapped circular to a paid pilot.

What we will not pretend is a moat

The scraper, the search queries, and the LLM call are replicable in months. What is defensible is the firm-specific mapping layer, the speed versus a 12–24 month internal cycle, and the switching cost once output is wired into a compliance calendar or GRC tool. Classification taxonomies help, but they are copyable if a client hires their own SME.

If you own the Taiwan book, we should be talking.
