He brings nearly fifteen years of experience in statistical modeling, quantitative finance, and large-scale AI infrastructure development. As an entrepreneur, he works to democratize access to powerful and affordable analytical tools.

Stuart Reid (photo), a South African computer scientist, quantitative analyst, and tech entrepreneur, leads Nosible, an artificial intelligence startup he founded to transform web research and data analysis for asset managers and technology companies.

Founded in 2020, Nosible has built a search engine capable of indexing millions of web pages in real time, delivering up-to-date insights to financial professionals, tech firms, and media organizations. The company also offers a public-facing platform where specialized AI agents perform targeted tasks such as market analysis or document research, continually improving through machine learning.

Reid said Nosible's index operates at 1/100th the cost of current methods and uniquely supports real-time hyperparameter tuning. He noted its ability to dynamically adapt to more complex searches, similar to how OpenAI pioneered the use of test-time compute.

In March, Nosible secured $1 million in pre-seed funding from Atlantica Ventures and strategic investors to accelerate its commercial rollout and expand into new markets.

Reid graduated from the University of Pretoria in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in computer science. He began his career as a junior consultant at KPMG in 2013, later serving as a quantitative analyst in 2014. He then joined Old Mutual Investment Group in a similar role.

In 2015, he became Head of Engineering at NMRQL Research, a financial services firm. In 2019, he moved to Aerobotics, a company focused on agricultural data analytics through aerial imagery and machine learning, where he served as Head of Data Science.
