Former energy trader Anekha Sokhal founds trading recommendation engine Moshi
Understand the story
Anekha Sokhal, a former energy derivatives trader and CEO of Moshi, has founded Moshi, a recommendation engine company for traders whose product links market information with traders' positions. On October 22, 2026, at the AI Engineer New York conference, she spoke with swyx and introduced the product, describing Moshi as a combination of Bloomberg, Claude, and Netflix. The interview reviewed her journey: from studying mathematics and statistics at Warwick, to trading energy derivatives at JPMorgan, to founding Moshi. The conversation also covered multiple topics: the importance of trusted sources in trading scenarios, document extraction (she mentioned Reducto), the trade-offs between building versus buying models, and the pressure AI engineers face at startups where "you are the whole team." The two reports are consistent with no contradictions. The main progress so far is the founder publicly introducing the product's positioning and technical approach; no other new developments.
