Avantgarde Finance develops decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure, specializing in on-chain asset management. The company builds and curates vault strategies that harness blockchain technology to activate idle digital assets, aiming to generate returns. Its core offerings include DeFi vaults designed for various yield strategies and tailored separately managed accounts, all underpinned by a non-custodial framework.
Mona El Isa co-founded Avantgarde Finance, bringing extensive experience from traditional finance, including a significant tenure as a star-trader and Vice President at Goldman Sachs. Her background provided a critical insight into the inefficiencies of conventional systems, leading to the ambition of building institutional-grade, transparent asset management solutions on the blockchain, initiating their involvement in DeFi in 2016.
Avantgarde Finance serves both established crypto-native organizations and protocols, as well as new-generation investors seeking structured exposure to digital assets. The company's vision is to apply rigorous institutional standards to on-chain capital, activating dormant funds to deliver sustainable, risk-adjusted returns within the evolving digital asset landscape.
