Our Story: Building the Next-Gen AI Hedge Fund
ScaleUp’s journey is a testament to relentless innovation, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to institutional excellence. Here’s how we became Asia’s leading AI-driven cash alpha platform
Prior 2018
A New Approach to Cash Alpha
Inspired by the need for smarter, safer cash management, ScaleUp was founded by LY Tan (ex-Credit Suisse UHNW RM) and an ex-Goldman Sachs FX expert. Their vision: harness AI to systematically capture inefficiencies in Asia’s FX markets, offering a true alternative to traditional fixed income and hedge funds.
Key Achievements:
• Built proprietary AI/ML models to analyze market patterns.
• Formed partnerships with leading academic institutions, including MIT, to refine the technology stack.
2021 - 2022
World-Class Talent, Unmatched Expertise
We brought together quant researchers and traders from Credit Suisse, AI/ML experts from MIT, and fintech innovators across Asia. This diverse, high-caliber team forms the backbone of our platform’s performance and reliability.
2022 - 2024
Strategic Partnership Fuels Growth
In a pivotal move, ScaleUp entered a joint venture with a sovereign wealth fund (SWF)-backed wholesale trading firm. This strategic alliance enabled ScaleUp to tap into the partner’s extensive customer network, substantial transaction volumes, and surplus cash flows. The collaboration not only strengthened ScaleUp’s market presence but also amplified its ability to deliver value through advanced AI-driven cash alpha strategies.
Key achievements
• Increased Revenue Streams: Joint revenue-sharing boosted ScaleUp's CAGR to 53%, ensuring sustained growth.
• Transaction Volume Surge: Leveraged the firm’s existing operations to scale transaction volume to $2.4 billion.
• Added 80 employees in Singapore & Malaysia & HK.
2024
Recognition and Rapid Growth
Our innovative approach earned us an MIT partnership and a Singapore government AI/ML award. With $2.4B+ in transaction volume, 53% revenue CAGR, and 80+ hires, ScaleUp has become the trusted partner for leading banks, payment networks, and fintechs.
Key Innovations:
• Regulatory AI: Adapts to evolving rules.
• Synthetic Access: Unlocks restricted FX markets.

Our Position in the Fintech Landscape
A 2x2 market positioning matrix visually demonstrates ScaleUp’s strategic advantage relative to competitors by mapping key industry dimensions.
X-Axis: Yield vs. Capital Protection
Y-Axis: Traditional vs. AI-Driven Strategies
ScaleUp dominates an untapped segment—offering AI-driven, institutional-grade cash alpha with superior risk-adjusted returns. We disrupt low-yield fixed income and high-risk hedge funds by delivering a smarter, scalable alternative for surplus cash optimization.
ScaleUp: Uncorrelated Alpha, Institutional-Grade Safety
ScaleUp uniquely combines advanced AI with institutional-grade risk controls, delivering high-yield, market-neutral returns on surplus cash. Our platform systematically captures inefficiencies in Asia’s FX markets, providing a scalable, uncorrelated solution that outperforms both traditional and tech-driven competitors.
Smarter Defense, Limited Upside
AI-powered conservative funds leverage technology for enhanced risk management and automation, but typically remain focused on low-risk, low-yield outcomes. These solutions improve efficiency, but don’t unlock true alpha for surplus cash.
Chasing Yield, Accepting Volatility
Traditional hedge funds and alternative assets pursue higher yields, but often at the expense of significant volatility and risk. Human-driven strategies can be slow to adapt, leaving investors exposed during periods of market turbulence.
Safety, But Sacrificing Yield
Conventional bank deposits and money market funds focus on capital preservation, but offer minimal returns—often failing to keep pace with inflation. These products lack innovation and are ill-equipped for today’s dynamic market environment.
