About
EquiLibre Technologies is a Prague-based AI research lab applying reinforcement learning to financial markets. The company was founded in December 2021 by three former DeepMind researchers — Martin Schmid, Rudolf Kadlec, and Matej Moravcik — who had earlier built DeepStack, the first AI system to defeat professional players at no-limit poker 12. EquiLibre’s AI agents trade billions of dollars in daily volume on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in partnership with Tower Research Capital 123. The company employs roughly 25 engineers, most of them Czech nationals with prior experience at major U.S. tech firms 2.

What Investors Say
“This is the largest investment we have ever made, showing the belief that we have in the future scaling of the technology. EquiLibre is doing what the best frontier labs do: picking a domain where the feedback loop is brutal and honest, and letting the technology speak for itself. Martin and the team have proven the approach in the hardest possible environment.” — Cameron Sellers, Vice President, Creandum, quoted in Tech Funding News, July 1, 2026 2
