en.Wedoany.com Reported - LinqAlpha today announced the completion of a $22 million Series A funding round, co-led by AVP, Atinum Investment, and GFT Ventures, with participation from multiple global strategic financial institutions and venture capital platforms.
The company was co-founded by Jacob Choi, Subeen Pang, Jin Kim, and Hojun Choi, with a team that includes former Goldman Sachs analysts and MIT computer science PhDs. Its platform has served over 70 financial institutions from the United States, Europe, and Asia, covering sell-side sales, trading, and research teams at top investment banks, as well as buy-side clients such as Causeway Capital Management LLC and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC, which collectively manage over $5 trillion in assets.
LinqAlpha was founded on the premise that global public markets have become too fast, globalized, and interconnected for traditional research workflows to handle. Institutional investors face the challenge of synthesizing thousands of moving signals—from Asian supply chain disruptions and European policy shifts to social media signals, earnings calls, and credit market changes—into differentiated insights before market consensus forms.
Hojun Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha, stated that the next wave of AI in finance will transform the scope of information analysts can access, with advantages stemming from systems capable of revealing market-moving signals before they are priced in. The company provides institutional teams with the ability to deploy proprietary AI agents that learn each user's unique investment framework. Co-founder and co-CEO Jacob Choi noted that the platform can build a system for each investment team that transforms accumulated research into actionable insights across liquid public markets, with agents capable of reasoning within the context of investment themes and continuously evolving based on feedback and market perspectives.
Manish Agarwal, General Partner at AVP, pointed out that LinqAlpha is working to build systems that help institutional investors uncover differentiated insights in public markets. The round was oversubscribed, and the new funds will be used to expand the global team, deepen integration across markets and alternative datasets, and accelerate the deployment of its multi-agent platform across equity, macro, credit, and multi-asset strategies.
