Fintech Akka has developed Daniel, an AI dedicated to helping investors understand exactly where their money is going. Members can ask anything about a startup or a pre-IPO deal available on the platform — a valuation, a multiple, a market reference, the technology behind a company — and get a clear answer in seconds.
“American investors have always been curious about venture capital and growth opportunities, but the technical language of these deals left many talented people out. Daniel removes that barrier. Now a member in New York or San Francisco can ask the same sharp questions a professional analyst would, and get a straightforward answer in seconds,” says Javier Desantes, co-founder and CEO of Akka Spain.
Daniel not only answers questions; it also teaches people how to analyze a deal, weighing risks against opportunities, so that someone investing for the first time can be as well-informed as an experienced investor.
Access has always been the barrier that has kept private markets exclusive, and for the past two years Akka has been removing it: originating deals, structuring them, and managing the entire operational complexity from start to finish. Daniel is the next step: financial education.
Members of Akka have already invested in more than 30 companies, including Anthropic (with a recent exit and a net return of 4x), Perplexity and Aalo Atomics.
