About

A financier's rigour. An operator's instinct. An AI-native lens.

RA Arc Capital was founded to give ambitious founders and institutions something rare — one partner who understands strategy, capital, and AI, and has operated in all three.

The founder

Minutes Leung

Founder & Managing Partner, RA Arc Capital

RA Arc Capital Management is a Hong Kong–based boutique platform working at the intersection of AI strategy, business growth, and capital. It is led by Minutes Leung, Founder & Managing Partner.

Minutes began her career in finance — a stockbroker at HSBC and a licensed insurance broker — before earning an MBA at Waseda and spending three years inside global venture acceleration at RGAX. Today she is Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of CIO Circle, building AI-native infrastructure for wealth management across Hong Kong and Singapore; a former Capital Advisor to Antler; and a published author and a sought-after speaker on AI and the future of business.

That combination is the point. Most advisers have depth in one lane — strategy, or capital, or technology. RA Arc was built to hold all three at once, because the decisions that matter most to founders and institutions rarely sit neatly in one. An AI strategy that ignores the capital markets is incomplete; a fundraise without a defensible AI thesis is fragile. RA Arc closes that gap.

We keep the firm deliberately small. Every engagement gets senior attention — the person you meet is the person who does the work. And we work where opportunity is concentrating: the corridor between Asia and the Gulf, where capital, talent, and ambition are converging faster than anywhere on earth.

What we believe

Three principles behind the firm.

01

Clarity is the scarcest asset

Our job is to make the next move obvious — a clear read on the problem, then the plan to act on it.

02

AI is a strategy question first

Before it's a technology question. We design for how businesses actually create value, not for the hype cycle.

03

Access is earned, then shared

We open doors we've spent years building — for the founders and institutions we choose to back.
