Who we are
Banking, regulation and AI
in one founding team.
Node16.ai is built by founders who have worked where financial crime is fought: inside and alongside banks' risk functions, with regulators, and in applied AI research.
20+ years in European financial regulation and compliance
Legal practice, compliance advisory and supervisory dialogue.
Peer-reviewed research, put to work
A PhD in computer science, research published at HICSS and presented at NVIDIA FLARE Day, and federated learning built on sovereign GPU infrastructure.
Henrik Axelsen · Founder
Industry experience,
with research behind it.
Former practising lawyer, former senior partner at two Big Four firms serving banks' risk and compliance functions, and serial founder. Henrik holds a PhD in computer science, with research spanning AI and governance.
The wider team and advisors are introduced in conversation.
Built to last
From research
to banks' daily work.
Node16.ai began as research at Copenhagen Business School and was spun out to bring that research into banks' daily work. The product is built by an experienced team, and its approach is being tested with the regulator in the Danish FSA's AMLR Article 75 sandbox.
The founders have previously built and financed international growth companies, and know what it takes to deliver a service banks can rely on over time. Node16 takes its name from the strength of a network and from UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, which includes reducing illicit financial flows.
