BACKSTORY
The story behind UrAI
The West sparks 0–1 breakthroughs, Asia scales from 1–10 and transforms 10–100+. History proves it: cars (Benz & Ford → Toyota & Honda), EVs (Tesla → BYD), and the internet & SaaS (Google & Microsoft → Sundar Pichai & Satya Nadella driving scaling). Humanity thrives when the West invents and Asia scales.
Transformers, GPT, Gemini, Claude Code - the foundations of modern AI are being laid in the West. But for AI to truly fulfill its potential, Asia must now step up and scale it responsibly. The challenge ahead is ensuring AI evolves not only in capability, but also in service of humanity’s progress.
UrAI was founded on the conviction that Asia must lead AI’s next chapter. Headquartered in Japan, we unite builders from California, Bangalore, Paris, Jakarta, London, and Tokyo - drawing on experience from IITs, Cambridge, UW–Madison, IESE, and institutions like McKinsey, Samsung, Yahoo, Bain, Morgan Stanley, Shopee, Sony, and Visa.
We see AI as an instrument - like electricity or the internet. Through Specter, we enable transparent, human-guided workflows that drive faster, better decisions. As these gains compound, humanity can pursue what once seemed impossible - from thriving companies on Earth to missions reaching beyond the Milky Way toward Andromeda.
