Aditya Jha (Itoflow): AI agents for portfolio management

Aditya Jha, CEO of Itoflow, joins live in studio hours after announcing a $2.5M pre-seed to build AI agents for portfolio management, covering data cleaning, backtesting, signal creation and portfolio optimization. He explains the safety architecture that keeps the agent's "brains" separate from an independent risk and execution system, the collaborative human-in-the-loop product where rejected trades teach the agent, and the self-improving loop of parallel strategy experiments. The segment ends with a Base sponsor read.

Ken Villum Klausen (Repodo): an AI-native audit firm

Repodo founder Ken Villum Klausen joins on the day of announcing an €8.2M pre-seed to build the world's first AI-native audit firm, where agents do the grunt work and in-house statutory auditors sign off. He explains why they chose to become the audit firm rather than sell tools to the Big Four, claims their auditors could handle 5,000–7,500 accounts a year versus roughly 200 today, and shares second-time-founder lessons, the new ~€10M ARR-in-12-months bar for a strong Series A, and plans to expand beyond Denmark.
