An artificial intelligence start-up at Izarbel

The innovative young company Quants United is developing an artificial intelligence solution adapted to the financial sector as well as offering advice to all sectors of business. 

“Along with Ekaterina Besse and Tram Trinh, we created the company Quants United in Versailles in 2019 and we then established ourselves on the Izarbel science park at Bidart in January 2020, while retaining offices in the Paris region. I am originally from the Pays Basque and the decision to move there came about from a meeting with Jurgi Camblong, the President of Sophia Genetics, which set up its research & development centre on the Izarbel science park. The quality of the local ecosystem and the motivation of the team to work in the Pays Basque convinced us too,” recalls Axel Orgogozo.

Quants United now consists of seven people, four of whom are former physicists or mathematicians, now data scientists, those experts in charge of management and of data analysis with the aim of transforming the data into useful and usable information. “We had already created an artificial intelligence company together in the field of medical diagnosis and we decided to launch Quants United to apply our know-how to developing artificial intelligence solutions to be used for analysing risk for players in the financial sector,” explains Axel Orgogozo.

Algorithms and machine learning

The team at this young company, which has received a French Tech Emergence grant and an ESTIA Startinterest-free loan, is therefore working on a proof of concept (POC) of a strategy diagnosis platform based on artificial intelligence. “This tool enables us to analyse, with the help of machine learning algorithms, the market conditions for the optimal functioning of an investment strategy,” explains Axel Orgogozo. 

At the same time, the company is offering its expertise in artificial intelligence to any business interested in this new technology. “In artificial intelligence, we can be asked to structure medical data, to analyse emotions expressed in call centres to improve customer relations, to detect insurance fraud, to set up predictive maintenance in industry. We can analyse all types of data: images, audio, text, structured data, etc.” specifies Axel Orgogozo.
