Daniele Grassi, cofounder and CEO of Axyon AI, has recently discussed the company's focus on applying artificial intelligence to asset management and financial markets. In a July 2025 interview, he described founding the company as a response to converging trends in data availability, computational power, and machine learning, noting that many financial market players were not ready to adopt these advances. He also highlighted the rise of active ETFs as a significant trend, suggesting that this shift toward lower-cost, liquid investment vehicles creates opportunities for innovation and technology in the sector. Grassi stated that Axyon AI provides an AI component to investment processes that aims to add alpha or performance to clients' strategies, and he predicted that within five years, AI would become an essential core component of any investment strategy, including discretionary ones. In earlier appearances, Grassi has addressed topics related to entrepreneurship and AI learning. In a November 2024 podcast, he discussed Axyon AI's $5.5 million in funding and shared lessons from his experience, including the importance of being mindful about company structure and incorporation, particularly in southern Europe, where he noted it is more difficult to secure investment than in the US. He also emphasized the need to build a track record and work closely with customers to develop initial applications of technology. In a 2017 TEDx talk, Grassi drew parallels between artificial intelligence learning processes and human education, arguing that AI systems learn from errors and that more knowledge can reduce flexibility in learning. He questioned why humans often view mistakes as failures, suggesting that error is a first step toward change and success.

"Excellence and innovation are complex paths, made of failures from which to learn in order to start again. We want to bring to the stage of the Teatro Storchi those—not only from Modena and not only from the business world—who have turned their failures and difficulties into a treasure—explains Fabrizio Bulgarelli, a lawyer specializing in international law—The great Muhammad Ali, who recently passed away, used to say that 'inside a ring or outside, there's nothing wrong with falling.
