Fresh @_MomentHQ swag drop on the heels of one of our biggest new joiner quarters 💥
Two minutes left in the science bowl, down twenty points.
Ten seconds left in your last byoyomi period.
Realizing you won't make the next ICM payout, and needing to find the right spot to get it in.
Five seconds before the open, the morning after tariffs were announced.
One week out from launching a multi-asset class UMA platform for an enterprise client.
Math and science competitions, Go (represented Chicago and Boston), poker (236th of 10,000 at the World Series of Poker), trading, and now Moment. For Henry Li, they all come down to the same thing: rational thinking and sound judgment in high-stakes environments, and the focus to sustain it over long stretches.
Which is also a pretty good description of trading. He spent seven years at DRW: first trading equity and index options, then building the quant infrastructure underneath them as the team scaled from 10 to 100.
So when Moment came along, it became his next obsession. He wasn't looking to leave; our first two cold emails went unread. But the third named the people he'd be working with, including Anish Karyat, who had spent 20 years at Jane Street and Citadel. That got him on a call. From there, he ran it like a research project: 50+ hours of diligence, 20 with people inside Moment and 30 with anyone outside who'd give him an additive and honest read.
His final meeting was with our co-founder Ammer. It was scheduled for an hour, ran to two, and picked back up Saturday morning for another three. By the end, he was convinced the founders were all-in, and had huge ambitions. On his way out, he grabbed a copy of The Mamba Mentality from the lobby and finished it that afternoon.
What clinched it was the caliber of the team and the stakes of building the infrastructure the largest financial institutions run on. "A lot of companies have smart people, but not a lot have exceptional people. I feel like I'm working with world-class athletes training for the Olympics."
Henry found his crowd. And seeing Roshan in the office, a founding engineer he hadn't seen since the two competed in the Ocean Science Bowl in high school, felt like the universe agreeing.

Smart treasury is coming.
Our COO & Cofounder, @ammersoliman had the chance to share the stage with William Capuzzi, Karl Yang, (@chiefofstuffs) and our moderator Dave Wieseneck (@daveweez) yesterday to unpack how technology and great infrastructure is reshaping treasury management, from enabling self-driving money to unlocking access to institutional-grade yield.
Huge thanks to our partners @tryramp and @apexfintech for co-hosting with @_MomentHQ last night and a huge thank you to all the finance leaders and attendees who came out to connect and share ideas!
