I‘m Kelly Littlepage. I live in New York, where I‘m helping build the future of markets.

I‘m the co-founder and CEO of OneChronos, where our mission is to “design and operate markets that grow the gross world product by facilitating trade.” We‘re using deep tech to overcome computational challenges and make Smart Markets (mechanisms that match buyers and sellers using mathematical optimization) commonplace in capital markets and beyond. We‘re currently available for US Equities.

My academic background spans mathematics, computer science, and economics, and my current research interest—multiagent systems and applied mechanism design—lies at the intersection of those three fields. I‘m especially interested in how machine learning can enable novel mechanisms and attack computationally intractable optimization problems, like protein folding and combinatorial auctions.

When I‘m not coding, I run, hike, travel, and explore the cities that I‘ve called home: Denver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York.
