Cove is building AI-powered infrastructure that enables distribution owners to launch their own financial products in minutes — without code, capital, or compliance headaches — and keep all the margin.
As CTO, I led the technical vision, architecture, and engineering at cove. Beyond building the platform, I worked directly with customers to architect and ship embedded fintech integrations tailored to their products.
What we’re building
Launching a financial product traditionally takes years of engineering, regulatory work, and capital. Cove collapses that to minutes. Distribution owners describe the product they want, and our platform handles the rest — from regulatory compliance to go-to-market infrastructure.
“We tried to build this internally for 3 years. Cove got us to market in 6 weeks.”
