Drive
We would rather be early and wrong for a week than late and right with everyone else.
An event-driven trading firm that moves at the speed of new information
Join us
01 What we do
We trade the gap between an event and its price — the window where the market has heard the news but has not finished arguing about it.
We trade catalysts across equities, credit, rates, commodities, and other asset classes: earnings, filings, policy decisions, restructurings, index events.
Screens tell us where to look. A person decides what the situation is worth and carries the risk of being wrong.
Engineers sit with the traders they build for. A signal that arrives after it has decayed is not a signal.
The firm stays small. Capital is solvable; judgment under time pressure is not.
02 Who we are
Traders, researchers, and engineers who treat price discovery as a craft.
A flock turns before any single bird decides to.
A murmuration has no leader. Each bird tracks the few closest to it, and the flock changes direction faster than any one of them could signal the turn.
Markets reprice the same way — thousands of people reacting to the people next to them. Reading that is a matter of proximity, not prediction.
So we organize for proximity: small teams, and no distance between research and risk. Flat and transparent inside the firm, quiet outside it.
03 Values
What holds a flock together:
Competence
People at the top of their craft, who know exactly where their knowledge ends.
Judgment
Knowing when the model is right and the market is wrong — and when it is the other way around.
Openness
The strongest argument wins, whoever makes it. We publish reasoning, not just conclusions.
Ownership
A thesis stays with the person who wrote it, from first data pull to exit.
04 Open roles
Offices in New York, Palm Beach, and Singapore. Most of the firm works remotely and comes together for the weeks that carry the most risk.
Competitive base, weighted toward discretionary bonus and profit share. Healthcare covered in full, time off untracked.
If you want to do the best work of your career next to people holding the same standard, we would like to hear from you.
