Millions invest to build a better financial future. Yet retail investors have underperformed for decades, losing returns to poor timing, impulse and limited tools.
Now they are turning to general-purpose AI for help. But chatbots cannot continually learn markets, construct and manage portfolios or operate as part of a regulated brokerage.
Finforge is a Swedish deeptech and fintech company building Sophon, an adaptive AI investment engine designed to close that gap.
Sophon-3 is the result of eight years of research into a fundamental problem: markets change, while most models stay frozen. It combines specialized models that screen securities, forecast returns, construct portfolios and adapt as new data arrives.
Simulation and live trading reproduce the same decisions trade for trade. Four Sophon-3 agents were selected and locked before deployment and have traded founder capital since April 2026. Every subsequent decision is recorded as it happens and measured against relevant benchmarks. Our methods and limitations are published.
We are bringing Sophon to market as configurable AI agents in a mobile brokerage app, launching in Sweden, Germany and Spain through Alpaca’s licensed European entity.
Founded in Uppsala, our team combines serial entrepreneurship, deep-learning research, financial expertise, consumer technology and product design. CEO Hans Dahlström previously co-founded Starbreeze, which went public, and Hansoft, which was acquired.
We are not a hedge fund, and we do not build for hedge funds. We build for people investing their own money and pursuing real financial goals.
Our ambition is to give millions of everyday investors access to adaptive, auditable investment intelligence.
Founder & CEO
Hans Dahlström
Hans began programming at the age of 7 and, at 17, co-founded his first company, Starbreeze, which went public in 2001. In 2005, he left the game industry to co-found the B2B SaaS company Hansoft with two other partners. Hansoft was sold to Summit Partners in a significant exit in 2017, and Favro was spun out as a new startup. In 2018, Hans started studying advanced deep learning, including deep reinforcement learning and financial machine learning, alongside his work at Favro. This research led to a six-year project that culminated in the formation of Finforge, which entered startup formation in 2024.
