We Built Saena Because
We’ve Been on the Inside
Saena was founded by Mehdi and Mateo, college friends reconnected through a shared frustration.
The smartest investing tools were built for people already in the system.
So, they decided to change that — by bringing hedge fund–style intelligence to regular investors through clean, modern design and transparent technology.
Mehdi Tabdili
Co-Founder & Quant/AI Lead
Mehdi built his career developing financial models, algorithms, and AI systems for institutions like J.P. Morgan and global hedge funds.
His specialty is merging quantitative analysis with machine learning to uncover patterns others miss.
At Saena, he built the proprietary engine that powers the model portfolio — and trained the internal LLM that helps analyze market behavior in real time.
“We’re using tech built for billion-dollar portfolios — and translating it into insight that anyone can use.”
Mateo Deas
Co-Founder & Strategy
Mateo spent nearly 20 years advising Fortune 100 companies at consulting giants like Accenture, PwC, and Booz Allen.
He helped global banks, asset managers, and tech firms rethink how they operate and grow. He also worked with FinTech startups in Silicon Valley, helping them scale responsibly and build trust with users.
"The tools were either too simple, or too confusing. We built Saena for people who want to invest smarter — without needing a finance degree.”
At Saena, he leads product, content, and customer strategy.
