From two chairs to global AI innovation. RDC.AI started with a bold vision in 2016: five people, two chairs, and an unwavering belief that AI could transform how banks lend, grow, and protect their portfolios. Fast-forward to today, and were revolutionizing business and commercial banking across Australia, New Zealand, and North America. We help bankers know more, do more, and grow more by turning complex data into actionable intelligence that drives real results. What makes us proud? Our platform uniquely combines predictive and agentic AI to deliver transparent, explainable insights across the entire lending lifecycle. From origination to monitoring, we empower banks to launch innovative products, serve customers better, and make confident decisions faster – generating tens of millions of dollars in measurable value. Our journey has been recognized globally – winning The Digital Bankers 2025 Best AI-Powered Platform award (our first of many, we predict!) and earning two AmCham Alliance Award finalist positions. But what excites us most isnt the accolades – its the impact. Were helping leading banks transform lending from reactive to proactive, from gut-feel to data-driven, from good to extraordinary. And were just getting started. As we continue our North American expansion, were always on the lookout for the most curious and brilliant minds who want to shape the future of financial services.

So far, true core banking transformation has been held back by the compromise between fast-to-market but inflexible "configuration" neo cores on one hand, and flexible but highly complex and costly "framework" neo cores on the other. The 10x Banking platform offers the best of both worlds, driving a generational leap forward in core banking technology; the world’s first “meta core”. Its modular, highly scalable and customizable core uniquely allows banks to build hyper-personalized products at high-speed and low-cost, using a combination of configuration and coding, supporting any programming language. Proven across transformational deployments including Chase UK, Old Mutual and Westpac, 10x Banking offers Retail, SME and Corporate/Commercial banks an accelerated, de-risked pathway to full cloud-native transformation.

We’re OpenAgent — and it’s our mission to make it easier for Australians to buy, sell and own property. Let’s be frank, selling and buying property is *stressful.* While selling or buying a home often represents a new life chapter, there’s no denying that the decision is often spurred on (and complicated) by some of life’s biggest challenges and milestones. Things like getting married, expecting a baby, an ever-growing family, or not-so-happy occasions like separation or losing a loved one can all trigger the next step on the property journey. Selling a home is a big deal, and, it’s not until you start the process that you realise just how overwhelming it truly can be. This is why it’s the first problem we set out to solve. We started in 2013 with the goal of improving transparency around real estate and making it easier to find a trusted real estate agent. Choosing an agent can sometimes feel like a game of chance. We remove the guesswork by putting the powerful tools of knowledge, insight and choice in a vendor’s hands. Every vendor’s story is different, but we know that no matter what your home-selling journey looks like, we can help. We work with thousands of quality agents right across Australia so, if youre selling your property, OpenAgent is the place to go to find an agent you trust and get the support you need. Were an Australian-based team with a bucketload of passion for the work we do. We work hard but we have fun doing it. At the end of the day, achieving big things with an awesome team is what makes this journey exciting.

Most people only see a paradigm shift after the fact,
not the incremental steps taken to get there. At Arconic, we focus on the delta. We believe growth is never a product of any one factor alone. It’s the incremental improvements; the intelligent interventions and the strategic connections that drive exponential returns. When these pieces come together, everything shifts. The growth compounds. The trajectory arcs up and to the right. The whole becomes greater
from the sum of its parts. At Arconic, we believe greatness is Intelligible, incremental, measurable, accretive. AI accelerated technologies will reshape how business gets done. It has shaped our ambition, and the necessity, to build a new technology focussed private asset investment manager, built like a tech company. While we draw on over 40 years of experience and heritage as leading operators and investors, Arconic will combine AI and data driven techniques to provide actionable opportunities, optimise returns and build an efficient platform. Our initial Fund, Arconic Venture Fund I, will invest and partner with the next generation of category defining B2B and Enterprise leaders that will redefine industries.
