Apoorv Saxena: Building AI That Actually Works in Finance

from Modern Capital: The Private Markets Podcast · host Marc Andrew

Apoorv Saxena built AI at Google under Fei-Fei Li, at JPMorgan under Jamie Dimon, and led AI implementation across the portfolio at Silver Lake. Each one taught him something different about where the technology actually breaks.Now he's building Obin AI - which just came out of stealth backed by Motive Partners with Fei-Fei Li as advisor - to deliver AI agents that operate at 99% accuracy inside financial institutions, fully auditable, replacing core workflows end-to-end.In this podcast, we talk about why most firms spreading AI across 50 use cases are destroying value, what Dimon's three-hour first-principles interrogation revealed, and why the winners in financial AI won't be the fastest movers... They'll be the ones who build the right foundations first.
