Raison

In June 2025, two groundbreaking companies captured global attention:

🔹 Neuralink raised $650M in a landmark Series C round
🔹 Scale AI secured a $14.8B investment from Meta, pushing its valuation to $29B

We identified Neuralink in 2022 and Scale AI in 2021 — driven by rigorous analysis and a conviction in their transformative potential.

These milestone deals reinforce the core of what we deliver to our clients: privileged early access to visionary companies shaping the future of AI, neurotechnology, and foundational infrastructure.

On May 15, the Raison team took part in the Nordic Fintech Summit 2025 — a key event for the financial technology industry in Northern Europe.

As part of our broader strategy to expand into European markets and enhance financial infrastructure, we participated in the closed-door FINTECH CIRCLE ROUNDTABLE alongside leading banks and technology companies.

Discussions focused on the future of the industry, the integration of AI in capital and risk management, and the development of a global bridge between Asia and the West.

Special attention was given to potential collaboration with EU and UK banks — including debt issuance on the AIX exchange, optimization of cross-border payment rails, and the creation of joint investment funds.
