EPFL Spinoff launches AI-backed platform for investors

Founded in 2019, VisualStructure is focused on the next generation of active investing. The startup developed fast parallel intelligent algorithms based on its proprietary AI technology which combines advanced mathematical algorithms and machine learning with a unique set of visualization tools.

The platform allows any options trader or investor to easily create and design their own investment product or "VisualStructure" of options positions in an interactive, transparent and risk-managed stack and the algorithms find the best, cheapest, and most efficient way of building the product in real-time. The algorithms also ensure that the user gets immediate feedback on every action. Despite the complexity of the math behind the solution, the product is designed to make the analysis easy and accessible for any trader, independent of their background and experience.

“VisualStructure was created to democratize options trading and enable investors to trade with confidence and transparency," said Semyon Malamud, EPFL Professor, Chief Scientific Advisor and Co-Founder of VisualStructure.

VisualStructure represents the collaboration of Swiss academia with the larger Fintech community, offering both new and advanced options traders a great combination of simplicity and access to modern technology. The startup is also supported by the Innogrant program and the canton of Vaud through its program to support technological innovations.
