His joy stems from the fact that he thinks the ComplyAdvantage family will become even more powerful with the addition of Golden's talented staff.

Furthermore, the company's services and market presence are anticipated to be strengthened by the cooperation with Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), which was highlighted as adding "powerful expertise that will aid ComplyAdvantage as they move into the next phase of their growth."
