Regulated businesses shouldn’t have to choose between moving quickly and managing risk
We’re building so they don’t have to: their expertise in every decision, at any pace.
Narrative began with a problem our founders saw from opposite sides.
Gokul saw it from product.
Ideas that made business sense stalled because nobody could quickly say whether the risk was acceptable.
Jeff saw it from legal and compliance.
A confident yes takes evidence, context, and experienced judgment. That expertise reached the business one review at a time.
They shared a conviction: an institution’s judgment should reach every decision it makes, not just the ones its experts can get to.
That became Narrative.
We’ve carried the risk. We’ve built for trust.
We bring together experience in regulated businesses, risk and compliance, product, and engineering.
We understand the responsibility behind a decision, and the work required to make it defensible. That shapes how we build: expert judgment stays visible, evidence stays connected, and technology fits how institutions operate.
The team has experience across AI, compliance and risk, financial infrastructure, and enterprise software at companies such as Palantir, Cursor, Ramp, Stripe, Sardine, Citadel, Ethos, and Capchase.
