Forest Bai Goes Full-Time to Build Trading Agent Mojo
Foresight Ventures alumnus, current chairman of The Block, and former Bitget executive Forest Bai announced he is abandoning portfolio entrepreneurship to focus on Mojo, aligning with another founder's choice to leave high-paying trading for a single company. Mojo is positioned as a trading operations system that integrates data, research, decision-making, and execution into a single conversational process, with the product currently in testing. The documentation lists him as CEO. Demonstrations include generating candlestick charts and capital flows with a single sentence, cross-exchange derivatives order books, funding rates, and market predictions. The team’s COO is publicly identified as Vincent, with a background in Memecore. During the World Cup, they used their own funds to place orders based on user opinions for promotion. The amount of financing, revenue, or audited trading performance has not been disclosed. The claim of "annual income in the tens of millions" comes from a statement by another founder and is not from financial statements. Portfolio entrepreneurship keeps people on multiple boards, while a single company keeps people focused on product duties. Trading agents must solidify "judgment" and "ordering"; otherwise, correct judgments equate to inaction.
Mechanically, this shifts trader human capital from self-directed accounts to productized entry points. Beneficiaries are entrepreneurial projects that can codify personal tastes into system defaults; those under pressure are tools that still rely on manual monitoring. If funds come in, they will be valued based on software metrics rather than a multiple of trading profits or losses from a given year.
The full-time declaration does not signify completion of the transition. Mojo is still in testing, and account permissions and compliance licenses were not discussed in this post.

ABAB AI Insight
An investor and media chairman moving to develop a trading operations system consolidates information and ordering powers into a single product. Portfolio entrepreneurship maximizes options, while a single company maximizes accountability for product incidents. The self-reported annual income of tens of millions is used as an opportunity cost benchmark to demonstrate "this is not a matter of finding something to do." The challenge of trading agents lies not in drawing charts but in who signs off on funding and risk control interfaces. The testing phase using World Cup opinions for growth is about content customer acquisition, not brokerage licenses.
Capital will inquire: Is this a research terminal or client trading? The former can be sold via subscription, while the latter requires licenses and liability. The identities of The Block and Foresight provide distribution but also create conflicts of interest: media, investment, and trading entry points overlap in the same individual.
This contrasts with the productization of quantitative studios and various terminals that allow "ordering by conversation." The industry is transitioning from portfolio positions to product duties: only those who can reduce execution from hundreds of clicks to a single sentence are willing to close other companies' calendars.
This represents a technological substitution: manual multi-platform clicks are replaced by conversational execution layers. The mechanism requires founders to first relinquish portfolio income before anyone is held accountable for product incidents.
