Vakee

Vakee Lai (赖蕴琦) is the founder and CEO of RockFlow, a Singapore-based AI-native fintech platform that operates as a next-generation investment trading platform for global young investors . She started investing at age 9, influenced by family exposure to China's 1990s stock market frenzy, and later worked at Baidu's Fengchao product research division and in venture capital at Hongtai APlus before founding RockFlow in 2021 .

Her career spans big-tech product development, primary-market investing, and secondary-market trading—she describes herself as having worked in AI or invested in AI throughout, and has been consistently active in U.S. stock trading since 2013 . She made notable personal bets on NVIDIA after GPT-3.5's release and on Robinhood at around $8 in late 2023 .

RockFlow, launched in 2022, raised $10 million on its first day and has been backed by BlueRun Ventures since its angel round; the firm describes its core mission as building an "all in one, AI-native" financial operating system . In September 2025, RockFlow introduced Bobby, an AI investment-deal agent that lets users express investment strategies in plain language . Vakee frames the platform's ultimate vision as a "strategy marketplace" where personalized, philosophy-driven investing replaces standardized interfaces—what she calls "financial equality" in the mold of Kuaishou's "short-video equality" .
