Alek Turkmen

I'm the founder of Silk, an AI-native investment firm. We run a fully autonomous, multi-strategy long/short equity platform powered by large language models.

Previously, I was an engineer at Northrop Grumman, JBB, and Parallel Distribution.

In my free time, I like restoring cars, designing sculptures, running ultramarathons, tracking my personality(t), intently reading, and I'm a founder fellow at On Deck.
