Vault Curation and On-Chain Asset Management with Steakhouse Financial

Episode notes

Adrian Cachinero Vasiljevic and Sébastien Derivaux are the co-founders of Steakhouse Financial, an internet-native asset manager focused on building non-custodial, on-chain investment products for stablecoins. Emerging from a deep DeFi-native background, Steakhouse operates at the intersection of decentralized finance, institutional asset management, and next-generation financial infrastructure. Prior to starting Steakhouse, Adrian spent time at Goldman Sachs and Bain & Company, and Sébastien created the first decentralized Core Unit at MakerDAO, focused on Real-World Asset and financial reporting. Their combined experience has helped shape some of DeFi's most influential projects, with a focus on transparency, risk management, and cryptographically enforced guarantees. At Steakhouse, they focus on vault curation as a new primitive for asset management, designing products that offer institutional-grade risk management, liquidity, and non-custodial protections.
