Founded by Alexandre Berkovic & Chrisjan Wust‍‍‍‍

Alex (CEO) has research experience at Imperial and MIT, specializing in multi-modal generative AI models. Previously founded an audio generation startup.

Chris (CTO) was the 1st employee and Head of ML at RelyComply, where he scaled the company from 0 to 12M users. He’s experienced compliance problems firsthand and built ML pipelines that led to a deal with Africa’s largest bank.

They first met at a barbecue in Cape Town, moved in together and then somehow ran into each other again in Portugal two years later. That kicked off their last startup. Now, they’re back at it with Sphinx.

‍

Problem

Before a bank or fintech can onboard a new client, they have to run extensive background checks. But here's the catch: most current systems use outdated, rule-based technology. At Chris' last company, he witnessed firsthand how ineffective and shockingly basic these systems are.

Poor data quality and dumb rules create over 100 million false alerts a year, leading to:

• Exhaustive manual reviews that drain resources and time
• Onboarding bottlenecks that max out compliance teams
• Lost revenue because of customers waiting and dropping off

‍

Solution

Sphinx replaces legacy systems with AI agents that act like a legal team—defense, prosecution, and judge. They gather and verify data from every part of the internet, making onboarding decisions so your team can focus on the important work.

Sphinx integrates directly into their clients’ onboarding workflow and handles:

1. Adverse media checks
2. PEP screenings
3. Sanctions reviews
4. UBO identification
