About

Built by people who ran the desk.

Synthetix automates a workflow our team spent careers inside — reading a client's request in chat, keying it into issuer portals one at a time, and reconciling the quotes that come back.

Why we started

The bottleneck was never the pricing.

Issuers already price structured products quickly. What slows a wealth desk down is everything around that — interpreting a free-form request, re-keying ten or more parameters into each issuer's portal, and waiting on one reply before starting the next.

The result is familiar to anyone who has sat on a desk: a request that could have been shown to the whole panel gets shown to two or three, and the first acceptable quote becomes the default.

Synthetix removes the re-keying and the sequencing, without asking any issuer to build anything. The agent reads the request in the channel the desk already uses, validates every parameter against strict financial logic, and sends it to the panel in the formats their auto-pricers already accept.

Where we are

Private beta, by design.

We are in supervised pilot with an EAM design partner who provides anonymised, real trade requests to benchmark extraction accuracy against live desk standards. Building against real flow from the first month, rather than assumptions, is the whole point.

We are onboarding a limited number of additional EAM and wealth desks. If that sounds like yours, tell us about it.
