You can’t control luck, but you can control your preparation and effort

Jim Simons

I’m Quant Beckman, a Spain-based quantitative researcher. I currently serve a multi-family office and have partnered with cutting-edge ventures, multi-strategy pod shops, and specialized investment platforms that are redefining finance.

My mission is simple: solve million-dollar problems for funds and firms. I’ve engineered predictive models, built scalable infrastructure, and designed systematic investment strategies that convert raw data into lasting competitive advantage. Today those same skills power a broader vision—creating alternative funding pathways that free businesses from costly bank loans and inflexible mortgage structures.

Right now, I’m assembling a portfolio of AI- and DeFi-driven ventures at the intersection of technology and capital markets. Each company targets liquidity gaps and disconnected information pipelines with solutions designed to deliver both societal impact and superior risk-adjusted returns.

Over the next six to ten years, my goal is to weave these innovations into flexible financing rails that entrepreneurs worldwide can access when traditional banks can’t—or won’t—step up. By challenging legacy constraints, I aim to build a more agile, inclusive financial ecosystem.

This newsletter is designed to equip you with the same insights and resources that drive this mission—so you can stay ahead, make smarter decisions, and be part of a meaningful financial shift.
