Can you tell us who your product or solution helps, and how?
Allasso helps traders, brokers, and institutional investors work with options more safely and efficiently. Our tools unlock the full potential of options by delivering lightning-fast analytics, saving internal teams countless hours. Compared to other providers, we deliver results at a fraction of the cost—making sophisticated options analysis more accessible and actionable.
 
What market are you addressing and what is the potential of your startup in that market?
We’re addressing the global market of financial participants trading options—a market that saw over 205 billion futures and options contracts traded in 2024, with options volume nearly doubling year over year. Our initial focus is on clients in the EU and UK, but growth in the U.S., Middle East, and Asia represents massive expansion opportunities.

How and where did you come up with the idea for your startup?
My co-founder and I have worked together in the financial industry for more than 30 years. From the inside, we saw firsthand how outdated the tools were, how inefficient analysis could be, and how fragmented the data was. We realized that with today’s AI, affordable cloud infrastructure, and powerful programming languages, we could build a modern solution that the industry truly needs.

What do you expect from the Venture Leaders roadshow, and how do you think it will help you achieve your vision?
We see the Venture Leaders Fintech roadshow as a unique chance to connect with top investors, partners, and peers in the global fintech ecosystem. It will help us validate our vision, gain exposure to international markets, and refine our strategy with feedback from industry leaders. Most importantly, it opens doors to relationships and opportunities that can accelerate Allasso’s growth and bring our solutions to a much wider audience.

What are your team’s key achievements to date?
We’ve built a robust data platform at the core of our solution, and successfully launched our first enterprise product—the Traders and Brokers Copilot. Most importantly, we’ve already gained traction with some of the biggest players in the industry as clients, proving the strength and relevance of our approach.

Is there a key principle or value that guides you as you build your company?
Trust is the foundation of finance, and it’s the foundation of Allasso. We focus on transparency, accuracy, and reliability in everything we deliver, because our clients rely on our tools to make high-stakes decisions every day.

What is the most important lesson you have learned as a founder?
I’ve learned that listening to clients is the fastest way to build the right product. Our best ideas came not from us, but from hearing what traders and brokers actually struggle with every day.

What is your favorite productivity hack or tool and why?
As a founder, I’ve realized that my best ideas rarely come while staring at a screen. Taking a walk without my phone, practicing a short meditation, or exercising helps me reset, shift perspective, and often uncover clearer solutions.

What was your dream job when you were a child?
I wanted to be a mathematician. While other kids were buying toys or fiction books, I spent my pocket money on math books and loved studying them. Numbers and problem-solving always fascinated me, and that curiosity has stayed with me ever since.
