Zuber Seth

Founder and product leader in AI for finance: Zuber founded Orchid and leads development of Zeno, a platform that automates analyst workflows (model research, model creation, macro analysis) for discretionary funds and hedge funds, positioning Orchid as AI infrastructure for smaller funds that lack in-house quant teams. harringtonstarr+1

Early technical entrepreneur with market intuition: As a teen he built a high-traffic market analytics site for Roblox (described as a Bloomberg-style terminal for that economy) and traded crypto and equities, showing product, engineering and trading instincts that later informed Orchid's product direction. harringtonstarr

Rapid, cross-functional career progression across industry and regulation: By his early 20s he held analyst roles at Client Associates and State Street, worked at the Financial Conduct Authority (gaining regulatory exposure), and later pivoted from attempting to start a fund to building a SaaS/AI platform after FCA constraints — demonstrating resilience and domain knowledge across trading, product, and compliance. linkedin+1
