About Xantos Labs
Xantos Labs was founded in 2019 by Chuk Orakwue, Olamide Harrison, and Oladipo Tokunboh. Frustrated by traditional investment advisors and their services, the founders set out to solve two big problems they noticed in the space. First, there was no premium service available for people that didn’t have millions of dollars to invest. Second, while outdated ideas such as investing in over-diversified ETFs filtered into everyday conversations, there were novel approaches to portfolio management that remained inaccessible to the average person. Xantos Labs made it their mission to fix both these issues and set a new benchmark for how everyday people experience investing.
“Xantos Labs was born out of frustration for the lack of premium investment advice for investors who didn’t have premium sized checking accounts.” - Chuk Orakwue, Managing Partner

Xantos Labs Powered by Alpaca Broker API
Xantos Labs discovered Alpaca in 2019 and initially leveraged Alpaca’s OAuth integration to launch their first prototypes. Once Alpaca Broker API launched in June of 2021, Xantos Labs quickly made the transition. With the help of Broker API, Xantos Labs has grown quickly while delivering a seamless experience to their clients. Alpaca Securities also acts as Xantos Labs’ appointed custodian.
“Before Alpaca, we struggled to offer our product with legacy platforms where custodians catered to ultra-high net worth, charged hefty access premiums, and or lacked the tech infrastructure we needed to keep our services affordable at scale. We quickly realized that many offerings were not capable of integrating with our strategy. ” - Chuk Orakwue, Managing Partner
