About Quawd

Turn a plain-English trading idea into a backtested, paper-traded strategy in minutes — not weeks. Quawd is the AI agent that does the quant work for you, across equities and crypto.

What Quawd is

Quawd is a SaaS platform for individual quants and small teams. You describe a strategy in plain English to an AI agent, Quawd compiles it into a deterministic intermediate representation, and the same engine runs your backtests and paper trades. Sign up, build a strategy, run it against years of historical data, and watch it trade live in a sandbox — no notebooks, no broker SDKs, no infrastructure to manage.

Quawd is a commercial product operated as a subscription SaaS business: usage-based plans for backtesting and AI-agent workflows, billed monthly with a free tier to start. See Pricing for details.

Who builds it

David Bentz

David Bentz — Founder

California native, BYU computer science, and a lifelong individual contributor. Most recently at Apple in the Bay Area, with stops across San Diego, New York, and Utah. Dad to five kids — which is roughly why Quawd is built to compress the path from idea to validated strategy from weeks to minutes.

Quawd started in October 2025 as a question: if AI agents can read a paper and write code, can they also reason about strategy logic carefully enough that a human can trust the result? The answer is shaping the product.
