Grant Stenger is a founder and CEO with nine years of quantitative and AI-driven product experience, currently building Kinetic, a crypto exchange platform backed by a $10M round from top investors including Sequoia and Jump. He blends a strong applied math and CS background from USC with hands-on quant and ML roles at Polychain, Jane Street, Numerai, and Midjourney, moving fluidly between research and product. Grant’s career mixes high-frequency trading rigor, AI research, and startup execution, and he has taught design thinking and led venture scouting at Contrary. Based in New York, he’s comfortable navigating both the technical depths of algorithmic systems and the fundraising, strategy, and design needed to scale a crypto-native marketplace. An intriguing throughline is his work on asymptotic analysis of multi-robot routing—evidence of a long-standing interest in combining theory with practical systems.
