Too fast, too hedgey

 In this debut episode of Fayl Tales, I sit down with Nasib Fathi, co-founder of AristoQuant, a startup that aimed to disrupt the hedge fund industry. While pursuing his Master’s in Finance, Nasib and his team quickly gained interest, built a team of over 10 volunteers, and pivoted multiple times in just a few months. But in their rush to shake up the industry, they realized they had taken on too much, too soon, and with too little experience. Tune in as we unpack the lessons from this ambitious but short-lived venture. 

Please note that a reference about Blackrock having $11.2 million in investment is actually $46 billion.
