About Wincent

We are a team of 120 people, primarily Engineers, Traders and Quants, focused on HFT with ~1% of global crypto trading volume. Being a bit weird, we

• Are self-taught; our founders do not come from any of the big HFTs
• Chose to have no VCs on cap-table; this spot is for our colleagues
• Made Bratislava the central hub, not London or Amsterdam
