Ekohe Operating History
This team has been doing AI transformation work operationally — the fund formalizes it as an investment vehicle. Founded in 2007, Ekohe has 19 years of technology delivery — and since 2012, a dedicated focus on AI and data solutions for institutional investors and fund managers: deal-flow platforms, portfolio analytics, LP reporting, and more. This is not a first-time team learning fund operations; it is a team that has been engineering the infrastructure funds run on.
