Build the AI workforce that finance can actually trust.

##### We are closing the gap between what AI promises and what regulated institutions can responsibly deploy.
##### If you fall in love with hard problems — not easy answers — this is where your work matters.
About Obin
Obin is the agentic workforce for regulated finance. We build AI agents that understand how each institution operates — its workflows, decision-making logic, edge cases, and regulatory requirements.
We partner with leading financial institutions to reimagine critical workflows across insurance, private credit, and commercial lending.
Obin was founded by Apoorv Saxena (former Global Head of AI at JPMorgan Chase, Managing Director at Silver Lake, and Head of Product for Cloud AI at Google) and Lak Lakshmanan (former Data & AI operating executive at Silver Lake and Head of Data Analytics & AI at Google). Our advisors include AI pioneers Fei-Fei Li and Lukasz Kaiser.
Today, Obin's solutions are in production at institutions representing more than $1 trillion in assets. We've been profitable since seed and are closing our Series A.
