Founder-led. Desk-trained. Independent.
Verio Labs exists to give sophisticated investors access to institutional-grade options and risk management expertise. No overhead, no conflicts, no complexity.
Verio Labs was founded by an ex-options market maker from a tier-one investment bank, with 12+ years across options, volatility, and multi-asset risk.
The same caliber of expertise that powers the trading and risk desks of major financial institutions. Now available to sophisticated investors who don't want to build that infrastructure themselves.
Today, we combine that trading-desk foundation with AI-first delivery: pricing models, scenario engines, and backtesting frameworks accelerated by modern tooling. The result is institutional-quality work delivered in days, not weeks.
The standard hasn't changed: does it work when it matters? No theater, no complexity for its own sake. Deliverables you can audit and revisit.
Sophisticated investors face a structural problem.
Your prime broker provides execution and custody, but not strategic analysis. Your RIA provides allocation guidance, but lacks depth on derivatives, tail risk, and trade construction. Banks offer structured products and trade ideas, but with embedded conflicts and fees.
What's missing is what a trading desk's senior salespeople and risk team do for their best hedge fund clients: evaluate trade structures before capital is committed, run scenario analysis, optimize cost, and provide a second opinion from someone who understands the domain deeply.
That's what Verio Labs provides, with complete independence and alignment with your interests.
What we believe
Principles that guide the work.
Risk management comes first
Everything we do serves one goal: helping you understand and control risk in your portfolio. That's the throughline.
Simple beats shiny
Complexity should earn its place. Default to the simplest approach that solves the problem.
Convexity is a budget, not a vibe
Protection costs money. The question is how much, when, and under what rules.
If it can't be monitored, it's not a program
A strategy without a monitoring cadence is a one-time trade, not risk management.
AI accelerates, humans decide
We use AI to move faster without sacrificing depth. Every output gets human review and judgment.
No products to sell. No bank inventory to push. No commission structures.
Verio Labs is fully independent. We don't sell financial products, manage assets, or execute trades. Our revenue comes from consulting engagements, period.
We don't have referral arrangements with brokers or data vendors. If we recommend a tool or service, it's because we think it's the right fit, not because we're compensated for the referral.
This independence is intentional. Our only incentive is to be right, to be efficient, and to add value.
