Vinay Nair — Founder
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of technology and financial services—as a serial founder, operator, professor, and investor. I have been trained as a technologist, engineer and economist and started my career as a full time academic. The common thread since then: building platforms that create impact through innovation at scale.At TIFIN, we’re building the agentic operating system for wealth management and adjacent areas such as asset management and insurance. My role as Executive Chairman is what I’d call “air cover”—vision, strategy, talent, capital, partnerships—while exceptional operators run the day-to-day. I spend my time on where we’re going and enrolling the right partners to help us get there faster. Track record:- 55ip: Founded and sold to JPMorgan. Today $100B+ in assets. On track to $1T by 2030. One of JPMorgan’s most successful fintech acquisitions.- Paralel: Helped co-found; from scratch to $40B+ in fund administration- Founder of GIVE, AMP and atWork. The pattern: next-gen technology, user focus, secular tailwinds, architecture built for scale. 0 → $100B+ in ~7 years—repeatedly. What else I do:- Teach innovation and entrepreneurship at schools such as Wharton, MIT, Columbia- Invest and support early-stage companies with mission and impact oriented entrepreneurs - Serve on boards where technology or financial services can transform a business. If you’re a builder, a buyer, or a believer in what vertical AI can do for financial services—I’d like to hear from you.
