Scaling with AI: Lessons from Fintech, Compliance, and Democratizing Wealth with Justin Kuyper

On AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Justin Kuyper, Co-founder & CEO of OpenVest, to unpack how AI helps early-stage fintechs move faster without cutting corners. We get concrete on using AI as a horizontal enabling layer across compliance (SEC/FINRA/SEBI research, fact-checking, reducing legal overhead), growth (precision customer acquisition and retention), and product (actively managed portfolios delivered via a low-cost subscription). Justin also challenges the hype: AI only works when you fact-check, email regulators, and test in the real world. We close with what “democratizing wealth” actually looks like—small minimums, transparent pricing, and access that used to be reserved for the ultra-wealthy—plus why he’s preparing an India launch.

About the Guest  

Justin Kuyper is the Co-founder & CEO of OpenVest, a fintech platform offering access to actively managed portfolios through a flat, low monthly subscription. Former hedge fund manager with a Columbia MBA, he’s focused on expanding access to high-end investment strategies and is preparing to launch in India.

Key Takeaways :

• AI for compliance = accelerator, not autopilot: Use models to map frameworks and exemptions, then verify with primary sources and regulator emails.

• Bias and blind spots are real: Prevent hallucinations with multi-model prompts, citations, and human review before any policy decision.

• Cost discipline wins: AI cuts research time and legal spend, letting lean teams focus on build-measure-learn cycles.

• Differentiate on product, not slogans: OpenVest competes by offering actively managed portfolios with a flat subscription and low minimums, not by copying incumbents.

• Acquisition that compounds: Start with small ticket sizes to lower friction; if outcomes are clear, reinvestment rates rise and referrals follow.

• Cross-border execution needs presence: In-person sprints surface bugs faster, tighten feedback loops, and make integrations and user testing more reliable.

• Democratization is practical, not utopian: AI and software won’t erase inequality, but they expand access so individuals can participate with transparent costs and tools.

• Governance culture matters: Treat AI outputs as drafts; no unverified legal or financial claims in client-facing flows.
