What Serafis does

Serafis is building super-intelligence for financial markets. We mine petabytes of unstructured data to identify narrative inflections before they become consensus. Think building early conviction in Bitcoin (2014), Tesla (2018), or Nvidia (2022). We are already live with 12 organizations managing over $70B in capital.

The AI knowledge graph for institutional investors

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI-powered knowledge graph that processes vast amounts of unstructured financial data to detect narrative shifts before they become market consensus. Our product helps institutional investors form early conviction on assets like Bitcoin, Tesla, or Nvidia by surfacing emerging stories and trends that others miss.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live and work in San Francisco, and after YC the company will remain based here to stay close to the institutional investment community.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the financial and tech hub where our clients and partners operate. Being local lets us maintain fast feedback cycles with early users managing billions in capital.
