Successful Stories
Hao Sheng
Founder @ ChatSimple
“UpScaleX’s AI-native perspective allowed them to instantly grasp our core tech challenges, providing targeted insights that sharpened our product strategy from day one. Backing us early, they quickly plugged us into their investor circle, allowed us to focus entirely on refining our AI product, rather than chasing capital.”
Emilie Ho
Co-Founder & CEO @ Make the Dot
"The UpScaleX team truly understands the commerce space like no other VC. As a fashion retail-focused AI startup, having a partner who not only gets our business but also makes strategic introductions. Their early and hands-on support has been instrumental in helping us rapidly refine our AI solutions and accelerate our growth."
Michael Bramlage
Founder & CEO @ Factory
"They didn’t just nod along to our ideas—they helped us test assumptions and shape the product. The mix of e-commerce expertise, deep AI fluency, and founder-first mindset gave us the conviction to double down on what mattered."
Reni Cao
Co-Founder & CEO @ WorldDex
"The truth is, Dex is a bold and unconventional idea—one that makes many consensus-driven VCs hesitate. But Alan at UpScaleX saw what others didn’t. He had the vision and conviction to write one of our first institutional checks, a signal that galvanized momentum for our oversubscribed pre-seed round."
