In an industry where time is everything, ToltIQ delivers a smoother, smarter, and more confident path from due diligence to decision-making. Share "The name ToltIQ was inspired by a moment during my time at KKR," said Ed Brandman, Founder and CEO of ToltIQ. "In an annual review, my boss shared how Icelandic horses have an additional gait, the tölt. It's smooth, fast, and efficient, with the rider barely feeling the effort. It allows Icelandic horses to navigate complex terrain. KKR was an intense firm to work at, as well as being very rewarding. The firm took on complex challenges that were often unique in the industry. My boss was asking me to find that 'extra gait', that fifth gear. Fortunately, I was able to accept that challenge and we remain good friends to this day. ToltIQ embodies this by helping investment teams move at extraordinary speed with clarity and grace." While adopting the ToltIQ name, the company is maintaining its iconic 'IQ' logo and overall visual identity. The corporate website, LinkedIn page and team email addresses will also reflect the new ToltIQ identity. The company anticipates completing the name change process in stages over the next two weeks to minimize any potential disruptions. The name change will not affect existing client access to the platform, and all client emails and access points will be automatically redirected with no action required from current users.

Sam Altman Says 2026 May Be a Big Year for AI
Sam Altman's OpenAI is at the center of an ambitious effort to remake the world of artificial intelligence while simultaneously turbocharging America's leading role in the developing technology behind it. Stargate, a collaboration of OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank, is set to use a bankroll that could reach $500 billion to build massive installations across the US. Altman, 40, says the project's name stems from an early data center design that resembled the ring-shaped portal made famous in the eponymous movie and television series. After he spent many months selling the idea to prospective backers, Stargate started to come together last year. In this extended interview from The Circuit with Emily Chang, Altman reveals what he thinks this giant leap into AI infrastructure could mean for the technology, the industry and the world.
