01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Cloudwall Capital, founded in 2021 by ex-Morgan Stanley managing director Kyle Downey together with Jia Yng Wee and Ilya Kulyatin, built digital-asset risk management software for institutional investors. Its Serenity platform gave institutions risk analytics and research to help them build crypto portfolios and manage volatility. The US- and Singapore-based company raised a $6.3 million seed round in June 2022 led by LocalGlobe and Illuminate Financial. In April 2024 the business and its team of under 50 were acquired by Talos, an institutional digital-asset trading technology provider valued at $1.25 billion.
