About
Built for firms that
own their edge.
Orchid is the next intelligence infrastructure for buyside investment firms — helping investment professionals compound their edge and keep sovereignty over their own AI systems.
What we believe
01
Your research is the firm.
Everything else can be bought. The way your team forms a view cannot. That is the last thing that should be sent to a service you do not control.
02
A general model is a generalist.
Finance has its own rules about evidence, dates and arithmetic. A model has to be trained on that reasoning, not reminded of it in a prompt.
03
Not knowing is an answer.
A model that says nothing when the document does not support a claim is worth more than one that always produces a confident paragraph.
04
The work should compound.
Every memo, model and note your team writes should make the next one faster — inside your firm, for your firm.
05
Control is not a feature you add later.
Where data sits, who can reach it and what is kept are decisions a firm makes once. We built for that from the start rather than bolting it on.
How we work with firms
Small number of firms. Very close to them.
We are not trying to be in every fund this year. We work with a small group of firms, deploy inside their perimeter, and build against the work they actually do — earnings weeks, live processes, real committee deadlines.
What a first month looks like
Week one
Deployed on your infrastructure, connected to a first set of documents.
Week two
One team, one workflow they currently dread. We tune against their output.
Weeks three and four
Widen to the desk, wire the API into what you already run, and set the retention and access rules for the firm.
Come and pressure-test it.
Bring the work you would not hand to a shared service. That is the part we want to see.
