Alek Turkmen

I'm the founder of Silk, a full-stack AI hedge fund that utilizes large language models to orchestrate the complete spectrum of stock market investing workflows.

Previously, I was an engineer at Northrop Grumman, JBB, and Parallel Distribution.

In a past life, I designed this Queens sculpture, almost got expelled from college, and enjoy restoring vintage cars.

If you're interested in having AI print money while you sleep, I'm looking for a cofounder to build Silk with. Here's my personality over the years.
