Alek Turkmen

I'm the founder of Silk, a fully autonomous AI investment firm focused on trading US equities. Headquartered in New York, Silk is registering as an investment advisor and expects to be operational by Summer 2026.

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

In a past life, I designed a sculpture in Queens, I've almost been expelled from college, I enjoy restoring cars, my personality over the years, and I like running.
