Beekman AI is building a platform that transforms investment ideas into institutional-grade financial products, reducing time-to-market from months to weeks.
Oscar Libreros built his career inside the machinery of global finance long before he began building technology for it. He worked in financial products at Prudential Financial in Massachusetts, then moved to New York at 23 to work as an equity trader at Jasper Capital.
“Trading teaches you humility,” he says. “If you do not respect the mechanics, the market corrects you.”
He later joined REFCO, a major futures and derivatives brokerage firm at the time, working as a product manager developing derivatives and structured financial solutions. That period shaped his identity as a financial engineer.
“A good structure is not complexity,” Libreros says. “It is precision. You define exposure, and you protect against unnecessary downside.”
Private banking brought him closer to client reality. He joined Société Générale Private Bank in the Bahamas and advised Latin American high-net-worth families. During that tenure, he raised about $280 million in assets from private clients, received performance share awards, and became Head of the Latin American Desk.
“In Latin America, wealth and business are inseparable,” he says. “Clients need solutions that connect the whole picture.”
He also pushed against rigidity inside the institution. Libreros developed business cases to expand what the bank could deliver and presented proposals to leadership in Switzerland and Paris. He led an initiative to register the private bank with the Colombian Central Bank so it could extend credit to Colombian entities. After that approval, he designed a structured credit solution for Colombian clients that generated more than $70 million in business within two years.
“Big institutions can innovate,” he says. “They need clear logic and clear demand.”
Entrepreneurship made him confront the hidden machinery of finance. In Uruguay, he founded Gestation Privée Asset Management, a regulated investment advisory firm that raised and managed about $100 million before regulatory changes forced closure in 2016.
“When you leave a bank, you learn what infrastructure really means,” Libreros says. “Compliance, licensing, legal frameworks, operations. It is expensive and slow.”
In 2022, he co-founded Sync Capital, a fintech focused on Insurance Linked Securities, and designed a securitization framework aimed at bringing private capital into the reinsurance market. The company raised about $2 million in venture capital from a major investment firm in Austin, Texas.
“Sync Capital taught me something important,” he says. “It showed me how hard it is to modernize structures without better rails.”
That word, rails, is the throughline to what he is building now. In 2022, Libreros founded Beekman Strategic, a boutique specializing in wealth management, investment banking advisory, and the structuring of global investment vehicles. Through his work, he has participated in structuring more than $500 million in structured investment transactions, including cross-border structures and capital markets products.
Building on that experience, he is developing Beekman AI, a fintech platform designed to digitize the creation and lifecycle management of institutional investment vehicles. The goal is to compress a process that often takes months of coordination between banks, bankers, stakeholders, lawyers, administrators, and regulators into a process measured in weeks. The platform targets structures such as limited partnerships, structured investment vehicles, and European exchange-listed securities, including ETPs listed on venues like the Swiss Exchange.
“Capital formation still runs on slow processes and relationships,” Libreros says. “We are creating the digital layer of capital markets so it can move efficiently and unlock the value of entrepreneurs and visionaries.”
He is careful about what artificial intelligence means in this context. The platform combines structured financial logic with AI-driven workflows and a human-in-the-loop approach. It is designed to streamline structuring, documentation, investor materials, and ongoing administration while keeping institutional standards.
“Human judgment stays in the workflow,” he says. “AI helps remove friction.”
His motivation comes from what he saw as both banker and founder. Many investment ideas never reach investors because the infrastructure costs too much and takes too long.
“The barrier is rarely the idea,” Libreros says. “The barrier is the machinery required to launch it.”
He believes modern infrastructure can make capital markets more accessible to entrepreneurs and emerging managers, without lowering governance expectations.
Libreros represents a broader convergence: deep structured finance experience paired with technology-driven infrastructure. His story is not only about scale, titles, or transactions. It is about making the system buildable for the next generation.
“The mission is value creation,” he says. “You take bold ideas and engineer the institutional infrastructure that turns them into compliant, capital-ready products.”
