Rogo's John Willett: $75M Sequoia-Led Series C & AI for Finance

John Willett, co-founder and COO of Rogo, introduces the AI platform for investment banks, private equity and hedge funds used by roughly 25,000 bankers and investors, and discusses its $75 million Series C led by Sequoia to fund European expansion from a new King's Cross office. He traces the company's origins to the Princeton 'Athena' NLP project with co-founder Gabe and their Wall Street analyst years, describes the shift from chat Q&A to end-to-end workflow automation like Excel models and pitch books, and how Rogo partners with banks' internal AI teams. He also recounts the reality of an analyst's day in 2020–21 banking and explains why EMEA needs a local team.
