# Holdex — Engineering & Design for AI and Fintech
> Holdex partners with founders in AI, fintech, and digital assets to design and ship production products. We bring engineering, design, and product judgment end to end, working like co-owners of what we build. We've been building in fintech, crypto, and digital assets since 2016, closing the gap between what these technologies promise and what regulated markets will actually let you launch.
