Built by an Industry Veteran
Vega was built by someone who has spent 25 years at the intersection of risk management and financial markets—and the last 15 years immersed in crypto. This isn't a side project by hobbyists. It's institutional-grade technology built by someone who has deployed these exact methodologies at scale.
25 years in Credit Risk, Market Risk & Investment Banking. 15 years in crypto. Building the tools I wish I had.
Iain brings a rare combination of institutional finance expertise and deep crypto experience to Vega Crypto Strategies.
Institutional Finance Background
Over a 25-year career in financial services, Iain has built and deployed capital models and Value at Risk (VaR) systems for multi-billion dollar portfolios at major investment banks and financial institutions. He understands risk management not as an academic exercise, but as the foundation of sustainable trading.
Crypto Pioneer
His crypto journey began 15 years ago, well before institutional adoption. For the last 8 years, he has been actively building in the space—most recently serving as Chief Risk Officer for a tokenization platform, where he applied traditional finance rigor to digital asset risk frameworks.
The Convergence
Vega represents the convergence of these two worlds: the quantitative discipline of institutional risk management applied to the unique dynamics of cryptocurrency markets. The regime-based architecture, multi-methodology VaR system, and calibrated confidence scores all stem from lessons learned managing real capital in traditional and digital markets.
"Why build Vega?" After 25 years watching institutional traders access tools that retail never sees, and 15 years in crypto watching the same pattern repeat, I decided to change the equation. The sophisticated analytics that hedge funds and trading desks take for granted—regime-aware models, proper VaR systems, calibrated confidence scores—shouldn't be locked behind seven-figure minimums.
Retail traders and family offices deserve institutional-grade tools. Not simplified versions. Not "lite" editions. The real thing—built properly, priced fairly, and explained transparently. That's what Vega delivers.
Our Mission & Values
Democratize Access
Institutional-grade tools shouldn't require institutional-scale capital. We're making professional analytics accessible to individual traders and family offices at fair, transparent pricing.
Transparency Always
No black boxes. No cherry-picked results. We publish walk-forward validation metrics, explain our methodology in detail, and show what worked and what didn't. Trust through transparency.
Quality Over Hype
We won't promise guaranteed returns or "never lose" strategies. Crypto is risky. Our job is to provide professional-grade tools to improve your decision-making—not to sell dreams.
Join the Movement
We're building a community of traders who believe everyone deserves access to professional-grade analytics. Join us in leveling the playing field.
