About Presto Labs

We’re a quantitative trading firm, established in Singapore back in 2014.

Presto Labs was founded by Yongjin Kim, Yongwoon Cho, and Jaewon An. Three partners with a common drive: to build a better automated trading system.

Yongjin began his algorithmic trading career at Jump Trading after graduating MIT.

Yongwoon fell in love with programming back when computers booted off floppy disks. He wrote his own video games and won several programming contest on his way to KAIST.

 Jaewon started programming at age 10, he won a gold medal at the Korea Olympiad in Informatics in 2000 and was an ICPC world Finalist in 2010.

Yongwoon and Jaewon met during their internships at Google, they had both been toying with algorithmic trading strategies in the Korean derivatives market. They quickly discovered their shared belief that a fast and reliable data-driven system was the future of trading, and it was clear they needed an experienced trader to help them take things to the next level- so they called their old friend Yongjin. It didn’t take long the trio realized it was time to found a company together.

Today, Presto Labs has grown to more than 50 employees. World-class engineers and researchers share offices in Singapore, Shanghai, and Seoul.

We build automated trading systems fueled by data-driven quantitative analysis to achieve stable and sustainable investment returns.

Our engineering teams do what humans do best – create algorithmic decision processes in order to achieve what no human trader ever could in today’s fast-changing, unbelievably complex financial world.About Presto Labs
