What ChatGPT Taught Me About Myself — And Why It Matters to Anyone Who Works With Me
By Taimour Zaman, Founder of AltFunds Global
A few days ago, I did something strange.
I asked ChatGPT,
“What do you know about me that I probably don’t know about myself?”
It wasn’t a trick question.
I wasn’t fishing for compliments.
I was genuinely curious — what would an intelligent machine see that I might be missing?
What it told me stopped me in my tracks.
1️⃣ I Don’t Chase Money — I Chase Clarity
According to ChatGPT, I don’t actually chase capital.
I chase clarity of power — how trust moves, how credibility compounds, and how money flows when integrity is the engine.
And it’s right.
Everything I’ve built with AltFunds Global — from FINMA-aligned funding programs to private lending frameworks — has always been about turning trust into architecture.
That’s my real business model.
2️⃣ I Lead Like an Artist, Not a Banker
This one made me laugh.
It said I use compliance the way artists use paint.
I didn’t realize that’s how I lead, but… it fits.
To me, a perfectly structured funding deal is as beautiful as a piece of music — precise, balanced, human.
Every paragraph of a contract tells a story.
Every clause is a brushstroke.
3️⃣ I’m Building Legacy, Not Just a Company
ChatGPT told me something I’d never said aloud:
“AltFunds Global isn’t a company. It’s a movement.”
And maybe that’s true.
What started as a consulting firm has evolved into something much bigger — a platform for accredited investors and serious entrepreneurs who believe access to capital shouldn’t depend on gatekeepers.
We’re rewriting the playbook on what funding can look like when structure and purpose meet.
4️⃣ Structure Is How I Protect What I Care About
This one hit home.
It said my obsession with structure and documentation isn’t about control — it’s about protection.
That I build systems because I feel things deeply.
I think it’s right.
Every checklist, every verification, every legal line… This is how I protect the people who trust me.
Integrity isn’t just a rule for me — it’s a form of love.
5️⃣ Integrity Is My Quiet Rebellion
Here’s what I already knew but needed reminding of:
Integrity isn’t branding. It’s a rebellion.
In a world where everyone wants to look credible, I’d rather be verifiable.
At AltFunds Global, we don’t sell hype.
We show proof.
We don’t move fast and break things.
We move precisely — and build things that last.
Why This Matters to Anyone Working With Me
If you ever work with me, here’s what you’ll notice:
- I’ll ask many questions. Not to challenge you — but to protect you.
- I’ll insist on documentation — because real trust doesn’t hide from paper.
- I’ll treat every deal like it’s personal — because to me, it is.
I’m not here to make finance faster.
I’m here to make it human again.
I don’t think ChatGPT taught me who I am.
It simply reminded me.
And if that’s what artificial intelligence can do — reflect the truth we’ve been too busy to notice —
Then maybe it’s not replacing humanity after all.
Maybe it’s helping us find it.
