During his time at Goldman Sachs, Szymon Pawica observed how quantitative funds gain a major edge through teams of highly skilled and costly quants and engineers who build models, automate strategies, and process large-scale data capabilities that are difficult for retail traders to replicate.

After leaving the firm, the NYU Stern graduate began trading independently, where he experienced first-hand the gap between institutional-level tools and what individual traders can access shaping the idea behind Elastics.

This conviction led Pawica to co-found Elastics with Mateusz Brodowicz, a mathematician from the University of Houston who previously built quantitative models for a prediction markets fund.

The company aims to provide individual traders with access to advanced tools for automated research, trade execution, and portfolio management capabilities that have traditionally been restricted to institutional finance firms.

“The quant edge at hedge funds comes down to people and infrastructure. We think AI can now replicate most of that and make it available to anyone,” said Szymon Pawica, founder and CEO of Elastics.

Pierre Entremont, co-Founder and Partner at Frst. “Prediction markets are emerging as a new asset class in finance, and we believe the industry is still in its very early innings. Elastics is building the AI layer that this market needs, and we’re excited to back Szymon and Mateusz as they democratise access to quantitative trading tools that were previously out of reach for most participants.”
