Quantitative research for institutional investors
We run long-term research partnerships with institutional counterparties. Systematic signals, careful engineering, discretion by default.

We build things
that compound.
Inspire Synergy is a holding company and venture studio founded by Benjamin Wong. We run quantitative research partnerships with institutional investors, and incubate the software ventures we want to see in the world — patiently, quietly, over years.
What we do
Three practices, one balance sheet.
Inspire Synergy operates as a single legal entity with three interlocking practices. Research funds the studio; the studio builds ventures; ventures create optionality. The whole machine runs on patient capital.
02 — Studio
Software ventures, built in-house
We design, build, and operate a small number of software products at a time. Each one solves a problem we have lived with. We ship before we scale.
03 — Ventures
A portfolio of what we have made
Some ventures we keep and compound. Some we spin out. Some we quietly retire. Over time, the list tells the story.
How we operate
Four principles we refuse to bend.
—
Build with intent.
We only start what we want to finish. No weekend projects dressed up as companies.
—
Revenue before hype.
Real customers, real cashflow, then maybe a press release. Usually not.
—
Craft over headcount.
We stay small on purpose. One good engineer with the full picture beats five without it.
—
Compound, do not churn.
We favour decade-long bets — relationships, codebases, domain expertise — over quarterly wins.
Work with us
