Before Endotech: The Problem Nobody Wanted to Solve

In 1989, a twenty-one year old student at the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel resolved an NP-complete approximation algorithm that had gone unsolved for over two decades. That student was Anna Becker. It was the moment she understood what AI could actually do — and the beginning of a 30-year obsession with applying it to financial markets.

Her academic journey produced a PhD in Computer Science and AI, a co-authored book on Bayesian networks that has been widely cited in the recent surge of AI development, and research collaborations with some of the largest financial institutions in Europe including AXA and BNP Paribas. She was not a crypto native who discovered trading during the 2017 bull run. She was a quant scientist who arrived at crypto because the volatility created the exact conditions her AI was built to exploit.

"I love the word opportunities because it brings — you're willing to risk things, you're willing to take the risks. The question is whether you can get opportunities from this."

— Dr. Anna Becker, Endotech CEO

Before founding Endotech, Dr. Becker built and sold Strategy Runner — a fintech platform for automated investing adopted by global investment firms operating in foreign exchange and commodities markets. The exit gave her the resources and credibility to pursue the system she had been envisioning since her PhD: an AI with a bird's-eye view of the entire financial market.

The Question That Drove Everything

Throughout her years working with hedge funds and quant teams, Dr. Becker kept asking the same question and kept getting the same response. Every trading algorithm she observed was looking for an edge — a pattern, an indicator, a signal that predicted market movement better than random chance. The problem is that edges expire. The moment a trading signal becomes known in a market, other participants adapt and the edge disappears.

Her question was: why isn't anyone building a system that can see why an edge appears, track when it starts to degrade, and automatically locate the next one? A system with a macro view of all market forces simultaneously rather than a narrow focus on a single signal set.

When she posed this to other quant teams, the response was consistent: "You want a financial god on your side." To see everything simultaneously — all traders, all investors, all events, all forces — you would need to observe the entire financial world at once. It was considered impossible for a small team with finite compute.

Then came GPT. Then came the explosion of large-scale AI infrastructure. And Dr. Becker realized the impossible question now had an answer.

Building the System: 2012 to Now

2012

Endotech Founded

Dr. Becker founds Endotech after selling Strategy Runner. The vision is clear but the technology to execute it at scale does not yet exist. The first five years are spent developing infrastructure and understanding the limits of what is currently possible.

2017

Pivot to Crypto Markets

Endotech moves its live trading strategies into cryptocurrency markets. The volatility — which most investors feared — was exactly the environment the AI was designed for. High-risk, high-return markets create the maximum opportunity for a system that can manage risk algorithmically.

2021

$40M Development Sprint Begins

With institutional backing secured and AI compute costs falling dramatically, Endotech deploys over $40 million into intensive development. A team of 40+ quant scientists and machine learning specialists begins building the multi-vector AI system — over 100 specialized AI modules working in concert.

2026

Retail Access via Bit1 Exchange

Endotech enters an exclusive partnership with Bit1 Exchange, making BTC Alpha and ETH Alpha copy trading strategies available to retail investors with no minimum deposit for the first time. The custody model keeps all funds in the user's own exchange wallet.

What Makes Endotech's AI Actually Different

Most products marketed as "AI trading bots" are rule-based algorithms — fixed logic trees that respond to specific technical indicators. These are not AI. They are automation. Endotech's system is structured around what Dr. Becker calls a multi-vector AI approach.

Rather than a single algorithm hunting for a single signal, Endotech deploys over 100 specialized AI modules — each one mastering a specific domain of market knowledge. Some modules analyze microstructure and resistance/support levels. Others process financial news, fundamental data, and market sentiment using deep learning. Others classify market states — identifying whether the market is trending, consolidating, or entering a regime change.

These modules do not operate independently. They feed into a macro-level market states model that contextualizes all individual signals simultaneously and establishes relative priorities. The result is a system that can approximate the "bird's-eye view" that Dr. Becker spent decades trying to build.

Technical Milestone

Endotech's deep learning module has achieved over 70% accuracy by integrating financial news, fundamental data, and sentiment analysis simultaneously — a metric that most institutional quant systems spend years trying to approach.

The self-improving nature of the system is what separates it from everything that came before. Every 2–3 months, new data sources are ingested, new elements are back-tested, and the model updates. This is why performance has improved over the life of the system rather than degraded — the opposite of what happens with standard trading algorithms.

The 8-Year Track Record in Full

Claims without data are worthless in finance. Here is what 8 years of live operation actually looks like:

Important: Endotech uses fixed capital reporting. Every trade uses the same base capital regardless of prior performance — all profits are treated as if withdrawn. This is intentionally conservative. Compounded returns with Fixed Ratio are significantly higher. The fixed capital figure gives a transparent, conservative picture without mathematical amplification.

The Bit1 Partnership: Why This Moment Matters

For most of Endotech's history, accessing the system required institutional credentials. The minimum investment was $50,000 retail and $125,000 institutional. The partnership with Bit1 Exchange changes that equation completely.

Bit1 is an invitation-only cryptocurrency exchange built around the peer-to-peer economy — you must come through a referral link. This is intentional. The exchange was designed to serve its community rather than extract from it, distributing 60% of all exchange fees back to community members through the IB coding plan.

The Endotech integration is available through copy trading — the AI connects to your Bit1 Futures wallet via API, executes the exact same trades as the master account, and your funds remain in your own wallet at all times. No custody transfer. No offshore accounts. No withdrawal restrictions.

Why Full Custody Matters

The collapse of FTX, Celsius, and other centralized platforms happened because user funds were pooled and used in ways users could not see or control. The Endotech/Bit1 setup is the structural opposite — your USDT sits in your own named wallet and the AI only has permission to trade it, never to move it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Dr. Anna Becker and why does her background matter?
Dr. Anna Becker holds a PhD in Computer Science and AI from the Technion Institute of Technology — Israel's equivalent of MIT. She has co-authored a book on Bayesian networks, founded and sold a fintech company before Endotech, managed nearly $1 billion in assets through her algorithms, and has been featured in FinTech Magazine, Unite.AI, and has a Wikipedia profile. Her background is a verifiable academic and entrepreneurial track record spanning 30 years.
Why hasn't Endotech been accessible to retail investors until now?
Endotech was built as an institutional tool. The minimum investment requirements ($50,000 retail, $125,000 institutional), the technical complexity of API trading setup, and the lack of a retail-friendly platform all created barriers. The Bit1 Exchange partnership solves all three — free account setup, no minimum deposit, and a simple copy trading interface that connects in minutes.
What is a "losing month" and should I be worried about them?
Out of 103 months of live trading, Endotech has had 10 losing months — roughly one every 10 months. The maximum single-month drawdown has been 14% on BTC Alpha. Losing months happen when the AI encounters a new market pattern it has not yet fully mapped. The system adapts, updates its models, and recovers. The critical mistake is disconnecting copy trading during a losing month — this locks in the loss and removes you from the recovery.
What happens to my funds if Bit1 Exchange or Endotech shuts down?
Because your funds are in your own Bit1 Exchange wallet and not in a pooled fund, a shutdown scenario would mean you retain access to your wallet and its contents. You would simply close the copy trading connection and withdraw. This is fundamentally different from pooled fund structures where the manager controls the capital.
Is there a minimum investment to start?
No. There is no enforced minimum to open a Bit1 account or connect to Endotech copy trading. In practice, smaller amounts generate smaller absolute returns — the percentage is the same but dollar value scales with your capital. Most participants start with an amount they are comfortable keeping invested for at least one full 90-day compounding cycle to allow the system to work properly.
Risk Disclosure

Cryptocurrency trading involves substantial risk of loss. The performance data cited throughout this article reflects Endotech's historical live trading results using fixed capital calculations. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Losing months occur and should be expected. Never invest capital you cannot afford to have in the system for an extended period.
