Grace Investment Machine

We believe the core constraint in investing is changing. For decades, asset management depended on human bandwidth: too much information, too little time, and too few ways to turn research into decisions at scale. At GIM, we develop financial reasoning models, multi-agent research systems, and the infrastructure behind AI-native investment workflows. Our goal is not to add another tool to the traditional stack, but to help build a new operating model for investment research and decision-making. Our work spans model, agents, and infra. Recent milestones include our angel financing and the acceptance of CogAlpha, our research on LLM-driven code-based evolution for alpha mining, at the ACL 2026 main conference. Our team brings experience from leading AI labs, hedge funds, and top universities, including DeepMind, Meta, Anthropic, Tsinghua, Peking University, Oxford, and HKU. We welcome conversations with researchers, engineers, investors, and long-term partners interested in the future of AI-native investing.
