OUR ORIGINS

Alexander & Craig, Crosswise's co-founders, met while working at Square in 2021, where they led the company's data and artificial intelligence efforts.

After several years working together, they began using new breakthroughs in AI to normalize and structure large documents and datasets. With the guidance of their advisors, they began exploring how to use new advances in AI to create step-change improvement in regulatory change management for financial institutions, and Crosswise was born.
