Daniel Nadler (30) and Pete Kruskall (27), Co-founders of Kensho

Daniel and Pete have made performing sophisticated quantitative analyses as easy as typing in a question to Google thanks to their virtual market research assistant Warren. They aim to empower financial professionals to perform sophisticated empirical analyses in a fraction of the time spent by institutional research teams today. They’ve recruited a team which includes veterans of Google and Apple, the former CIO of Credit Suisse, and a three time International Olympiad in Informatics world champion, among others.  Daniel is a Visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve, and Pete was previously a software engineer at Google and Kayak.com.
