I build grounded, private AI for institutions that cannot send their data to a public cloud — after 25 years designing quantitative models, structured products and production machine-learning systems on Wall Street and in insurance.
Toryx Inc. (Delaware C-corp, New Jersey) builds sovereign, air-gapped knowledge systems for defense, banking and insurance. The idea is simple: a mid-sized model with the right five pages in front of it beats a frontier model with none. Toryx finds those pages — across text, images and video — on hardware the customer owns, and every answer is logged with the passages it came from.
The underlying methods — retrieval, grounding, inference routing and governance — are covered by a portfolio of 20 patent filings. Toryx is a member of NVIDIA Inception, Google Cloud for Startups, AWS Activate, Microsoft for Startups and Cloudflare for Startups.
For New Jersey investors. Toryx is a New Jersey emerging-technology business and a State-certified Minority Business Enterprise (certified September 2026). Qualified investments in companies like Toryx can earn a refundable New Jersey Angel Investor Tax Credit of up to 40% of the amount invested, through NJEDA’s program. Each credit is applied for and approved per investment; investors should confirm eligibility with their tax advisor.
