Argonav is the technology and intelligence division of Keel Merchant Bank. It runs as one platform with four businesses, all built on one substrate, so capability built for one compounds into the others rather than scaling in isolation.
Keel Merchant Bank is the parent firm; Argonav is its technology and intelligence division.
Argo
Argo is the platform engine for Keel Merchant Bank: the single surface where the firm manages deals, portfolio companies, capital partners, people, meetings and documents, with the data substrate, agent runtime and audit trail on one code path. It is offered to comparable institutions.

What is the difference between Argo Studio and Argo Pyxis?
Argo Studio builds agent-native products inside companies and with operators we already work with. Argo Pyxis is the downstream, selective step that co-founds a brand-new company once a Studio build has proven out a repeatable pipeline. Studio builds inside someone else's company; Pyxis builds the company itself.
