LayerZero, SEI, and Selini Capital Co-Invest in Hyper-Personalized Crypto Discovery AI Platform TrueNorth

In a new step forward for the field of artificial intelligence applied to the crypto market, AI platform TrueNorth has just completed a $1 million strategic angel round, with the participation of big names such as Bryan Pellegrino (LayerZero), Jeff Feng (SEI), Jordi Alexander (Selini Capital), Plume, Virtuals, and Presto Labs.

Founded by Willy Chuang, former COO of hybrid CeFi/DeFi exchange WOO, and Alex Lee, a veteran AI investor formerly of Temasek, TrueNorth aims to redefine the way users discover and make decisions in the crypto world, through the application of autonomous AI agents and real-time data.

AI Agent Technology The 21st Century “Investment Assistant”
At the heart of TrueNorth’s architecture is an AI system that works silently behind the scenes, constantly scanning blockchains, social media, macro data, and blockchain projects to deliver relevant, timely insights to each user. These agents learn and adapt continuously based on each user’s trading behavior, portfolio, and personal investment style.

“We’re not just creating an AI tool, but an ecosystem that accompanies our users’ investment journey,” said co-founders Willy Chuang and Alex Lee. “With the rise of fragmented data and noise in the crypto market, TrueNorth was built to simplify things, speed up decision-making with greater accuracy and confidence.”

Synergizing AI and Decentralized Finance
TrueNorth’s vision is not just an investment tool, but also part of a new trend called the “agent economy” where AI becomes an integral part of navigating, analyzing, and making financial decisions.

According to Alex Lee, who holds a PhD in artificial intelligence, “AI is now not just processing data, but also understanding context, adapting to each user, and learning over time. TrueNorth is building a system that feels intuitive, but is actually powered by high-level artificial intelligence.”

Backing from Web3 Pioneers
TrueNorth has strong backing from seasoned investors in the blockchain and AI space, including:

Bryan Pellegrino, Co-founder of LayerZero

Jeff Feng, Co-founder of SEI

Jordi Alexander, Founder of Selini Capital

Yongjin, Representative of Presto Labs

Will Wang, Founder of Generative Ventures

These investors share the same vision of AI-powered data personalization, algorithmic trading, and interoperability in decentralized financial systems.

Preparing for Public Launch
TrueNorth is currently in closed beta, working with its first 500 testers, called “Truthsayers,” to refine the system and its generative user interface (Gen UI). The platform plans to release details of its architecture and proprietary AI model in the coming weeks, ahead of its public launch.

TrueNorth is a product of Advent AI, headquartered in Singapore, and part of the dAGI Accelerator program of Delphi Labs, an R&D lab renowned for developing pioneering Web3 protocols.
