Connected
One platform across advisory, capital markets, and investment. The intelligence compounds and the surfaces reinforce each other; the accountable team does not change when the mandate does.
Est. 2026// ARGONAV
Argonav builds the systems that close that gap: frontier AI models, agentic systems and complex data integration for the middle market, across every sector. The technology and agentic-intelligence division of 
Merchant Bank.
// THESIS
One substrate. Four businesses that compound.
Argonav architects 
Merchant Bank as an agentic-intelligence-first system, then compounds that work into businesses. Agentic intelligence is the substrate; it closes knowledge gaps so people keep judgment, taste and ownership.
One platform; four businesses; all reinforcing.
Our approach
01
Embedded, not bolted on
The default: software bolted onWe do not sell software; we enter at the inflection points that set enterprise value, in any sector, and build agentic systems into how the business runs rather than bolt them on top.
02
One substrate, four stations
The default: four silos, rebuilt twiceThe platform, the studio, the incubator and the research engine all run on 
. Capability built for one station compounds into the others; nothing is rebuilt twice.
03
Compounding, not scaling
The default: output scales with headcountEach engagement adds a durable capability. Studio feeds the platform; the platform underwrites the incubator; research produces work the firm acts on.
04
Range, not specialization
The default: specialists who hand offArgonav is built by people with range: they move across technology, finance and the domains between, bridge the gaps specialists hand off, and achieve speed through rigorous work. Agentic intelligence closes the knowledge gaps so judgment, taste and ownership stay human.
// THE MODELSWe build the models.
We build the models.
For the middle market.
Most AI offered to this market is a general model behind a wrapper. Argonav builds frontier models in-house, fine-tuned per company, data-agnostic by design.
The horizon: frontier AI for the middle market, across every sector.

// WHERE THE WORK LANDS
One substrate. Applied.
Four workflows the middle market runs every day, and what changes when they run on .
01
The gapDeal diligence
A data room, a spreadsheet, and weeks of manual review; every figure checked by hand, every question a new request.
OnAgents assemble and reconcile the data room; every figure traces to its source, and the whole room answers plain-language questions.
02
The gapPortfolio operations
Reporting arrives quarterly, stale, in a different format from every company.
OnOne substrate across the portfolio; a live operational picture, with exceptions surfaced as they happen.
03
The gapCapital coverage
Relationships live in inboxes and memory; coverage goes cold between raises.
OnEvery interaction logged and queryable; the standing work of staying current runs on the platform.
04
The gapRestructuring
Turnaround decisions made on lagging numbers, assembled by hand.
OnReal-time integration of the company's own data; scenarios run on live figures, not last month's.
// THE STATIONSOne ship.
One ship.
Four stations.
The platform, the studio, the incubator, and the research engine all run on one substrate. Capability built for one compounds into the others.
THE MASTHEADTechnology and agentic intelligence.
A Keel Merchant Bank company// THE TEAM
At the helm.
Argonav runs on operators amplified by the systems they build, not on headcount or hierarchy.
Meet the team// VALUES
Built by operators, for operators.
Three commitments hold across every mandate, every station, and every stage.
// 01 // 02 Mastery
Built by operators who ship systems, not analysts who describe them. The work is measured against a standard, not a clock.
// 03 Integrity
Accountable from the first assessment through the deployed outcome. We carry the result, not just the recommendation.
// SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
Engineered in, not bolted on.
Engineered to meet SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA and ISO 27001; data protection built into how the systems ingest and run.
The default: compliance as a badge wall.
Data protection
Sensitive data stays protected across every ingestion; encrypted in transit and at rest, scoped by role, and isolated per engagement.
Audit-ready
Access boundaries and a continuous audit trail, built to satisfy enterprise security review.

Enter at the inflection point.
We do not sell; we come in where enterprise value is set and build the systems that move it. If that is the moment you are in, start a conversation.
