Company
AYC Fund
AI-native crypto hedge fund
We built an AI-driven hedge fund that trades cryptocurrency automatically using models trained on crypto market data to find opportunities and manage risk. Our product continuously monitors the market, executes trades, and adapts strategies without human intervention.
We are based in Seoul, South Korea, and will stay based here after YC.
Seoul is where MJ Kim lives and where the crypto and AI talent we use is accessible. We don't need to relocate to run the fund effectively.
