The Team

Meet the team.

Built by people who’ve run circles, not just researched them.

UA Portrait of Uriel Azong
Co-Founder & CEO
Uriel Azong

Uriel’s background spans finance, investment analysis, and early-stage company building. Completing a Master’s in Innovation & Entrepreneurship at UC Irvine’s Merage School of Business, he brings the financial rigor of capital markets work with the product instinct of someone who has lived inside the tradition he’s building for. His experience inside savings circles as both a contributor and an admin shaped his understanding of where the infrastructure has always been missing.

Co-Founder & CTO
Prince Funwie

Prince comes from systems reliability engineering at General Motors, where the job is building infrastructure that performs under real-world conditions, at scale, without failure. Holding an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, he brings that discipline to RAITON’s technical foundation: the circle logic, the contribution architecture, and the systems that handle real financial activity.
