It’s Fat Tuesday – and T3 has some new BIG news!
Kirk McKeown of Carbon Arc will be keynoting at the T3 Technology conference happening March 9-12 in New Orleans 🙌🏼
Kirk spent 15 years running what he calls the “factory” — some of the largest fundamental channel-check and data-driven operations on the street.
At its peak, his team was conducting several thousand calls each year and he realized the “moat” in institutional finance was shifting from access to data towards the architecture used to structure it.
In 2021, he co-founded Carbon Arc, a platform built to structure data to be sold by consumption.
The company is betting on a “refinery” capable of structuring 100 trillion transactions for the coming wave of 30 billion AI agents.
At T3 this year, we’ll learn about Carbon Arc’s “agentic” refinery and why Carbon Arc treats data as a derivative with time decay.
Kirk will discuss the transition from “drilling” (data collection) to “refining” (knowledge graphs) and why the next 12 months belong to “automated agent onboarding” over retail chat.
