Our Culture -Our guiding philosophy

  • AI First

    Sure, we're an AI company but internally, every part of what we do is AI first. Our team heavily relies on internal agents and shared prompts to improve and guide our work.

  • Deep Focus

    Our roadmap responds to our clients' needs with relentless focus. We value long-term thinking and follow-through, with the mantra 'build it once, build it well'.

  • Secure Foundations

    Our models and integrations are built on a secure foundation of integrity, privacy and robust infrastructure. Our commitment to security fosters trust and confidence among our clients.

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.

After several months of engineering, we developed an AI engine and tested it with a timely scenario: "a run on the banks." Our AI meta-model generated a balanced investment portfolio, suggesting positions in US Treasury Bonds, Tier 1 banks, Gold, Crypto, and other assets to navigate this hypothetical event.

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

This experiment showed us the potential of our platform to explore a wide range of investment scenarios, both real and hypothetical. Telescope leverages AI to delve deeper into investment themes and uncover second and third-order consequences.

Following the launch of our sister consumer website, Potato, we received numerous requests to address a key challenge in the brokerage industry: using AI to enhance the investment discovery process.
