Scaling Stories - Armenak Mayalian from Reflexivity
London remains the global heartbeat of fintech and financial innovation. In the FS Tech Coffee Club series, we explore the behind-the-scenes scaling journeys of startup founders and engineering leaders. Each session unpacks their stories, the challenges they’ve faced, and the bold bets they’re making.
This time, we spotlight Reflexivity, an AI-driven investment research platform bringing a new approach to institutional analysis. At the centre of the story is Armenak Mayalian, CTO and Co-founder, who has spent over two decades building and scaling technology in financial services.
Reflexivity – Rethinking Investment Research with AI
Founded in 2022, Reflexivity is building an AI-first research platform designed for the investment industry. With institutional backers and a recent $30m Series B led by Greycroft and Interactive Brokers, the company is rapidly growing as it develops tools that aim to make investment research faster, more transparent, and more reliable.
Rather than being a “black box,” Reflexivity emphasises explainability and trust, working closely with hedge funds, asset managers, and other institutions to ensure its technology fits seamlessly into professional workflows. The company is part of a new wave of AI-powered tools reshaping how financial markets are analysed and understood.
