[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 San Francisco, California, USA, December 4th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

54% of investors now use ChatGPT for trading and investment decisions. Only 11% trust the results. That gap, between AI\u2019s promise and its spectacular failure in markets, represents billions in misallocated capital. TrueNorth<\/a> just raised $3M to build the specialized intelligence that closes it.<\/p>\n

The pre-seed round, led by CyberFund with participation from Delphi Labs, SNZ, GSR, and Ocular, funds what the team calls \u201cthe reasoning layer for financial intelligence\u201d: domain-specific AI that doesn\u2019t hallucinate when money\u2019s on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery vertical should have a specialized AI,\u201d says Willy Chuang, co-founder at TrueNorth. \u201cLegal has Harvey. Healthcare has OpenEvidence. But finance, the highest-stakes domain, is still using models trained on Reddit threads and the open web. We\u2019re fixing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Generic AI Problem: Fast Markets, Slow Models<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drawing on experience across Meta, Temasek, and Goldman Sachs, the TrueNorth team recognized firsthand how generic models hallucinate, miss market context, and lack the structural reasoning professional traders use to navigate volatility.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneralized AI falls apart in financial environments,\u201d says Willy Chuang, co-founder at TrueNorth. \u201cMarkets move too fast, the context is too deep, and mistakes are too costly. Domain-specific financial intelligence isn\u2019t optional; it\u2019s the future. And we\u2019re the first to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n

This insight shaped TrueNorth\u2019s core thesis that financial AI must be specialized, real-time, and grounded in expert reasoning. The platform converts elite trader expertise into AI agents through structured playbooks, real-time data fusion, and proprietary models trained specifically on market logic.<\/p>\n

Early results validate the approach. Internal benchmarking shows 98% accuracy on finance-specific tasks, a 28% improvement over leading general models, while reducing latency by 80%. Beta users demonstrate 30-day retention at 33%, roughly double industry averages.<\/p>\n

Expert traders as Digital Twins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professional traders spend hours each day scanning markets, validating levels, managing risk, and journaling decisions\u2014work that traditionally can\u2019t be automated without engineering skills. Retail traders face the opposite challenge: even with tools, they lack the pattern recognition and frameworks needed to trade with consistency.<\/p>\n

TrueNorth solves both problems by turning expert workflows into AI-powered digital twins. Through structured playbooks and agentic workflows, top traders can now encode their strategies using natural language, while everyday traders can act with the logic and discipline of the experts they follow. The startup has already partnered with leading educators, representing more than 1.5 million cumulative followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur platform is the first to model how professionals actually reason through markets. It abstracts complexity while preserving discipline,\u201d explained Alex Lee, co-founder at TrueNorth. \u201cHaving agents identify trade setups and highlight risks in real-time, users can act with the logic of professionals without needing their decades of pattern recognition and institutional knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

40,000 Users Queued for Financial Intelligence\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With backing from CyberFund, Delphi Labs, SNZ, GSR, and Ocular, plus strategic angels including Bryan Pellegrino (LayerZero), WeeKee (Virtuals Protocol), and Jordi Alexander (Selini Capital), TrueNorth is launching its public beta to a waitlist of 40,000+ users.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is transforming the way people interact with apps.\u201d says Konstantin Lomashuk, co-founder at Cyberfund. \u201cTruenorth will redefine how people trade. With Truenorth people will trade better with AI-powered insights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company is working with early adopters to co-build the agentic workflows that will define AI-native investing, where models don\u2019t just answer questions but execute strategies, manage risk, and adapt to regime changes in real time.<\/p>\n

Public beta will be opened today. Link to sign up below.<\/p>\n
