Description

At ALAIKA, we are building the future of Financial Services with a bold vision: to become the leading challenger firm in the industry by combining cutting-edge business and technology expertise. Through our three dynamic brands—ALAIKA Advisory (Strategy Consulting), ALAIKA Building (Company Builder), and ALAIKA Capital (Investment Company)—we are redefining Financial Services.

Founded in October 2022 by the Financial Services Practice Lead Partner of a leading US strategy consultancy and a builder/investor of multiple leading software companies, we bring together the best of both worlds: deep functional domain expertise and networks in Financial Services, along with a proven track record in how to build and invest in leading software product companies.

To properly advise Fortune 500 Financial Services companies in the present and future, we believe in building a new ecosystem that merges tech, venture, and product building expertise with direct board-level access to leading Financial Services institutions.

This all begins by coupling the right people for the job, which is exactly what we do at ALAIKA and why we need you!
