Marco Bitran’s Leadership WIth the Boston Financial-services Technology Company AI Exchange, Inc.


Marco Bitran leads the Boston financial-services technology firm AI Exchange, Inc., which operates the subsidiaries Al Exchange Technologies and Al Advisors. The former entity is developing disruptive web-based systems designed that connect investor advisor markets with the alternative investment sphere. In particular, the technology features unprecedented transparency and liquidity, allowing wealth managers to offer their clients quality long and short trading strategies.

Al Advisors manages the platform developed by Mr. Bitran’s enterprise, structuring alternative strategies through accounts held by a diversity of unified-account and separately managed-account custodians. Benefiting from reasonable minimums, clients maintain custody over assets managed within the Al Advisors platform.

Marco Bitran gained initial fund management experience with Wellington Management Company. From 2003 to 2006, he directed a $1 billion global-equity fund that focused on capital goods, infrastructure, and machinery industries. He next co-founded Clearstream Investments, LLC, guiding the growth of the exchange-traded funds capital management firm as Portfolio Manager. The company notably employed a proprietary quantitative approach in identifying global market price discrepancies. Mr. Bitran’s endeavors with the firm helped boost Clearstream Investments’ total managed assets to the $550 million range.

Over the past year-and-a-half, Marco Bitran and his executive team have been successful in positioning AI Exchange as a well-capitalized startup firm. The company earned distinction early in 2011 as winner of the Harvard Business School’s New England Regional Round of the Alumni Venture Contest. In September, Mr. Bitran’s firm achieved $1.5 million in capital funding from General Catalyst, CommonAngels, and other venture financing partners.
