Whale

Whale (帷幄) is a Singapore-headquartered enterprise AI company founded and led by CEO Jerry Ye (叶生晅) . It positions itself at the intersection of technology and brand marketing, serving what it describes as over a thousand global benchmark clients from its China base . Linear Capital, an early backer since the Pre-A round, has repeatedly increased its stake across multiple rounds . In May 2025, Whale announced two consecutive funding rounds — C1 and C2 — totaling over $60 million, with new investors including Bosch Ventures, MTR Lab, MDI Ventures, and Singtel Innov8 joining to support expansion into China, Southeast Asia, North America, and other global markets . The company has been framed in the Chinese tech press as pursuing a "two-way奔赴" between technology and brand-marketing scenarios, with Ye himself appearing at AI industry events to discuss AGI applications through a Silicon Valley-informed lens .
