The team

Built from the inside out

NAYFT was founded by people who lived inside institutional crypto — and got tired of watching retail investors navigate it blind. Every feature exists because someone on this team applied it professionally first.

Justin J. is the Founder of NAYFT and a Senior Operations Analyst at Brevan Howard Digital, one of the world's most respected macro hedge funds. With over four years of institutional crypto experience across Brevan Howard Digital, Apex Group, and Formidium, he has spent his career calculating Net Asset Value for crypto and PE/VC hedge funds, reconciling multi-asset positions across equity, cryptocurrency, futures, and options, and building the operational rigour that underpins billion-dollar portfolios.

NAYFT is the direct product of that experience — every feature, from the portfolio risk meter to the investment classification system to the volume spike alerts, is an institutional framework Justin has applied professionally, rebuilt for the retail investor who has never had access to it. He is not building from theory. He is building from the inside out.

I've spent four years inside the engine room of institutional crypto — calculating fund risk, classifying positions, watching markets move in ways most people only read about after the fact. When I looked at my own personal portfolio, I was using the same apps you use. Generic news. No risk context. Alerts that fire too late. I knew what better looked like, because I built it professionally every day. So I built it for everyone.
NAYFT is not a feature list. It is the answer to a question I kept asking: why should institutional-grade portfolio intelligence only exist for funds with Bloomberg terminals and risk desks? It shouldn't. Every crypto holder deserves to know what kind of investor they actually are — what they're exposed to, what's moving in their portfolio, and what the market is doing around the coins they own.
We launch 7 June 2026. I built this for you.

Gyan Dev Mishra is the Co-Founder and CTO of NAYFT, and a Senior Consultant at Infosys, where he engineers AI and cloud systems at enterprise scale. With over 5 years of software engineering experience spanning Infosys, eCosmos, and Idexcel, Gyan Dev has built production-grade systems across React.js, Node.js, and MongoDB — the exact stack NAYFT runs on. He began his engineering career as a freelance software developer before moving through a series of increasingly senior roles, ultimately arriving at Infosys where he works at the frontier of AI and cloud infrastructure.

At NAYFT, Gyan Dev owns everything from the app architecture to the data pipeline — translating Justin's institutional risk frameworks into a product that works seamlessly on the phone in your pocket.

I've spent years building systems that work at scale — enterprise infrastructure, AI integrations, cloud architecture. The engineering problems are rarely the hard part. The hard part is building something people actually need.
When Justin walked me through what he was seeing inside institutional crypto — the risk frameworks, the classification systems, the alerts that professional desks take for granted — and then showed me what retail investors were stuck with, the decision was easy. This is a real problem. The technology to solve it exists. The only thing missing was someone willing to build it properly.
That's what we're doing. NAYFT is being engineered with the same rigour I bring to enterprise systems — not a prototype, not a side project, but a product built to scale from day one.
We launch 7 June 2026. See you there.

Shraddha Rawat is a Co-Founder of NAYFT, leading marketing and data analysis for the platform. With over 4 years of financial services experience across MetLife and Infosys BPM, Shraddha has built her career at the intersection of numbers and operations — working as a Senior Accounts Associate at MetLife, one of the world's largest insurance companies, and progressing through accountancy roles at Infosys BPM where financial rigour and data discipline were non-negotiable.

In a founding team where Justin brings institutional crypto depth and Gyan Dev brings engineering horsepower, Shraddha is the growth engine — the person who ensures that a well-built product actually reaches the people who need it.

I've spent years working with financial data at companies where precision isn't optional — MetLife, Infosys BPM. Numbers have to be right. Decisions have to be grounded in what the data actually says, not what you hope it says.
When I joined NAYFT, I brought that same mindset to a different question: how do you take something genuinely useful and make sure the right people find it? Crypto has millions of everyday holders who are underserved, overwhelmed, and one bad move away from a loss they didn't see coming. NAYFT is built to change that — and my job is to make sure those people know it exists.
Marketing without substance is noise. NAYFT has the substance. I'm here to make sure the story gets told clearly, reaches the right people, and builds a community that actually trusts what we're building.
7 June 2026. We're ready.
