§ 01 — The firm

A hedge fund,
engineered.

Binomial Technologies is a long-short equity hedge fund launching June 2026. The fund applies quantitative research, fundamental and macro signals, and proprietary AI software to deliver low-beta returns. We fine-tune and build our own models for finance today — classifiers, forecasters and LLM-based systems — and intend to expand that work into a dedicated AI research lab in the field.
