Jeremy Mabbitt – Founder, CEO

Prior to founding Vidivici, Jeremy started and ran a company that provided specialised decision support tools to major financial institutions. The product he built (with the help of 40+ engineers) used sophisticated Artificial Intelligence algorithms to identify profitable, low-risk opportunities and construct better portfolios. Within a few years, the product had become the industry standard platform and eight of the world’s top ten banks – firms such as JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, UBS and Citigroup – were using and making money from it.

After selling that business, Jeremy started to wonder why major financial institutions should have the monopoly on great decision support tools.

He started Vidivici because he saw a way to deliver a new kind of investment tool, simple enough for any non-professional to use, yet sophisticated enough underneath to take into account all available information. He set out to build the ‘holy grail’, a financial search engine able to leverage collective market sentiment, impartially and transparently analyzing the options, allowing investors to manage their own risks and make better returns.

Jeremy read Engineering Science at St John’s College, Oxford, and at Exeter University and studied Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems as a postgraduate at the University of Sussex.
