Today, VFX delivers alternative international finance solutions that help clients manage treasury, FX risk, global payments, and liquidity with precision.

Regulated by the FCA in the UK, FINTRAC in Canada, and the DFSA in the UAE, VFX operates from key financial centres including London, Dubai, Toronto, and Madrid. Their team brings structure, discipline, and clear strategy to global treasury and FX, enabling clients to make calm, confident decisions in moments that matter most for their international growth.

GenLogs builds the Freight Intelligence platform that delivers proprietary insights through a nationwide network of roadside sensors, commercial datasets, and open-source information. The company captures real-time data on millions of commercial trucks across America, providing unprecedented visibility into freight movement for logistics providers, insurance carriers, and law enforcement agencies. GenLogs applies counterterrorism principles developed by its founders - former U.S. intelligence officials - to combat cargo theft, freight fraud, and supply chain vulnerabilities. The platform has uniquely fingerprinted nearly 300,000 for-hire carriers and observed their trucks nearly one billion times, far exceeding traditional DOT inspection capabilities. GenLogs transforms how transportation data is captured, secured, and commercialized by operating at the intersection of edge sensing, computer vision, AI-driven analytics, and large-scale field deployment. The company serves three primary markets: freight brokers seeking trusted carrier capacity, insurance companies requiring fleet intelligence for underwriting and claims, and law enforcement agencies investigating cargo theft and smuggling. GenLogs has helped customers prevent millions in losses and recover over 1,000 stolen or misused trailers. The company aims to unlock $7 trillion of new global freight flows while fighting $30 billion of fraud and theft annually, establishing a new standard for freight intelligence in the United States.
