Finance is entering the agentic era. Investment research is moving from human-operated workflows to AI-native research systems whose capacity keeps expanding. I founded Topolo in 2026 to build the infrastructure behind that shift.

AutoQuant, our agentic research system, takes work from hypothesis to capital. Candidates are proposed and tested day and night, run in a live mirror before any capital is committed, and only a small fraction of what is proposed is kept. Each cycle starts from everything the last one established.

Three ideas from our research notes shape how it is built:

• Research capacity, not ideas, is the binding constraint. Most desks are not short of hypotheses. They are short of the capacity to examine them.
• What changes when research never stops. Continuity turns research from a project into a standing capability.
• On retiring a system that still looks profitable. Decay is expected. The decision to stop should not wait for proof.
