Member of the Board of Advisors

Company Description: FRONESiQ is an Irish deep-tech firm focused on advancing financial intelligence to expose global financial crime networks. Backed by €40,000 in funding through Enterprise Ireland’s New Frontiers programme, the company connects fragmented financial, corporate, and trade data to reveal hidden relationships, suspicious trading activity, and indicators of corporate crime, financial crime, and trade-based money laundering (TBML). Its MVP1 focuses on trade-based SMEs engaged in international trade, including importing and exporting goods and services, particularly those exposed to financial losses, fraudulent transactions, unreliable counterparties, or previous incidents of trade-related financial crime. The technology enables these businesses to identify suspicious activities, assess counterparty risks, uncover complex corporate networks, and protect themselves against potential financial losses. The roadmap subsequently expands to financial institutions, payment service providers, AML investigators, legal firms, and regulators. By transforming disparate data into actionable intelligence, FRONESiQ enables organisations to move from reactive detection to proactive prevention, strengthening due diligence, investigations, regulatory oversight, and risk management. Operating at the intersection of Deep Tech, FinTech, RegTech, compliance technology, AI, and financial crime prevention, FRONESiQ offers advisors an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology with global impact.
