Overview: Built on Institutional Foundations

Eagle AI Labs was born from the shared vision of traders, developers, and institutional veterans who understood both sides of modern finance — the innovation of crypto and the precision of traditional markets.

Jack Rockell, James Ratsma, and Alan Ljungström-Caunt were deeply immersed in the digital asset space. Alan brought years of experience as a developer and system architect, while Jack and James traded across market cycles, learning how volatility, information asymmetry, and access defined opportunity.

Alongside them was Darren Bishop, a seasoned financial professional with more than three decades of experience at leading institutions including the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). Together, this blend of expertise in DeFi innovation and TradFi discipline formed the foundation of Eagle AI Labs. It was clear that by combining institutional structure with digital asset agility, the team could build something entirely new: a bridge between two worlds that had long operated apart.

Through their combined network came Martin Costa, former Vice President of First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), and Lee Steer, an experienced fintech executive who previously worked at Reuters and now serves as Managing Director, MENA, based in ADGM, Abu Dhabi. Their addition expanded Eagle AI Labs into a truly global team with reach across both Western and Middle Eastern financial hubs.

From inception, the mission was simple: to bridge the institutional edge and make it accessible to everyone.

Institutional trading firms have always operated with vast infrastructure, proprietary data feeds, and predictive analytics that individual traders could never access alone. The EAI token was designed to change that. Through its initial presale, Eagle AI Labs secured the funding needed to build a new kind of company that develops institutional-grade AI systems and predictive tools, and makes them available through shared ownership and access for its community.

From the beginning, quality was everything. In trading, poor data leads to poor decisions, and in artificial intelligence, low-quality data creates unreliable models. Eagle AI Labs was built on the belief that true intelligence starts with clean, high-integrity information. This philosophy led to partnerships with leading institutional data providers, fintech innovators, and regulated financial entities, forming the backbone of the company’s success.

Today, Eagle AI Labs combines the structure, precision, and discipline of traditional finance with modern digital infrastructure. Our subscription-based systems give traders access to the same class of intelligence used by professional funds, delivered through tools that are practical, data-rich, and continually improving.

What began as a shared idea between traders, developers, and institutional veterans has become a living framework that unites data, intelligence, and access under one mission: to make institutional power available to all.
