Our Foundation -Built for the future of AI

We don't adapt consumer AI for finance. Our platform is designed specifically for capital markets, with architecture that creates compounding advantages as AI capabilities evolve.

We orchestrate multiple language models while maintaining the regulatory standards financial markets require. Read our founding charter

Our Group -Part of Purple Group

Telescope is owned by Purple Group Limited (JSE: PPE), the listed group behind EasyEquities and the Easy family of investment brands.

Led by founder Luc Pettett, Telescope operates independently, building for brokerages and financial institutions around the world. We draw on Purple Group's backing, its experience running regulated investment platforms at scale, and its long-term commitment to making investing accessible.

Our Approach -Our guiding philosophy

  • AI-Native Architecture

    Built specifically for capital markets with foundations that grow stronger as AI advances.

  • Human-Centered Design

    AI that enhances human expertise and judgment, never replaces it.

  • Regulatory Alignment

    Designed to work within compliance frameworks across global jurisdictions.

OUR FOUNDATION -It started as an experiment

Telescope began as an experimental portfolio tracking tool, designed to connect investors with shared views on the future.

We tested our AI engine with "a run on the banks." It generated a balanced portfolio with Treasury Bonds, Tier 1 banks, Gold, Crypto, and other assets.

"It was in this moment we realised, this platform can be used for any scenario. Any event. Fact or fiction.", Luc Pettett, Founder.

That experiment taught us the potential of AI in finance. Today we help institutions harness that potential responsibly, with architecture built to evolve alongside AI capabilities.
