HISTORY

Merit’s cofounders, Adil Wali and Max Khailo, are long-time friends and serial tinkerers. They worked on several companies together, including FoxCommerce, which sold to Every. Since winding down the Merit cryptocurrency project, they have been co-founders in a global quantitative macro fund.

At its height, Merit had 16 people on the core team, working around the world.
