About

KNEX is building a semantic orchestration layer that turns legacy banking stacks into AI-ready platforms, without core replacement. We decouple data, workflows and AI from vendor roadmaps, achieving weeks-to-market (instead of months), at a lower cost, while staying secure and compliant. We have been in fintech since 2011, this company was launched in 2020 for fintech project management. We built PISPs and EMIs in London and we decided to turn the company to product.

Solution & Product

KNEX proposes a new architecture as it sits on top of existing systems and is the last frontier before the distribution channels. We orchestrate above the core to unify Data, APIs and Workflows, making the stack AI ready without replacements. Our platform has 2+1 layers: 1. Unified data access layer that reconciles data and feeds APIs for faster product launches, fewer data issues, lower operational risk 2. Unified API and orchestration layer that centralizes and manages APIs, in order to achieve weeks-to-market instead of years, lower cost per integration, regulatory confidence 3. Agentic AI layer, where all workflows are automated

Innovation & Scalability

The key is in the data reconciliation, as AI is fed from the right data input. KNEX is forming data ontologies, for each customer we collect on a graph database, connected data. This is already an innovation in banking. Over and above, APIs, are used for continuous information capture and reuse of gathered connected data, to share through communication protocol with agents (MCP). AI agents continuously perform tasks like data verification, risk detection etc. They are used to automate everything and achieve scale at the most efficient way. The more workflows we automate, the higher the scale our customer achieves. Agentic AI gives us room to grow indefinitely.

Traction & achievements

Still on development stage, so we do not have traction yet. We are in the process of Proof of Concepts with 2 systemic banks.

Team & Why Us

We built the team based on what we want to do, not the usual way on what we are able to do. After Socratis and Damianos decided on the concept on-boarded: - Alexandros who is AI architect and has been specializing in data for more than 10 years. He is an expert in Semantic Interoperability Framework which is key concept for us - Christos Sotiriou who for now works part-time, who has developed the largest API platform in SE Europe for a huge telecom company. Nobody know APIs better than Christo.

Funding Needs

We will reach-out to the market for funding for 500.000€. We have already pitched in Greece and abroad and we are moving forward.
