Haiku has raised $1M in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Big Brain Holdings, with participation from Auros, Frostlight, Daedalus Syndicate, and Biconomy CEO Ahmed Al-Balaghi.

This capital accelerates our mission to unify execution across the ecosystem.

In TradFi, you declare your desired outcome: "open a delta-neutral position." In DeFi, you're handed a checklist: lend USDC, borrow ETH, swap ETH back to USDC, re-deposit as collateral. Step-by-step instructions instead of a single outcome.

Haiku flips this. Users and protocols define what they want. We build the path.

We call this Declarative Transactions. Define your starting assets, target state, and price limits. Our dynamic routing engine handles the rest:

• Multi-leg strategies (loops, leverage, refuels) executed declaratively and in real-time.

• Institutional-grade order controls, including price limits and slippage protection.

• All-or-nothing execution: the entire strategy succeeds, or nothing happens.

The infrastructure is live and delivering results:

• Sub-200ms route calculation

• 20 supported networks / 45+ integrated protocols

Through a single API, protocols can now offer sophisticated strategies to their users without months of custom development.

Big Brain Holdings brings proven crypto-native expertise to our cap table, having backed transformative infrastructure projects across the ecosystem.

"TradFi operates on outcome-based execution, while most of DeFi is still stuck in transaction-based primitives," notes Derrick, Associate at Big Brain Holdings. "Haiku closes that gap by enabling one-click multi-asset to multi-asset swaps, delta-neutral yield, and automated rebalancing that are impractical for institutions, users, and DeFi protocols to execute on-chain today. We're backing Haiku with capital and with active support across our network to help them integrate, scale, and win.”

Auros adds unmatched market sophistication as one of crypto's largest algorithmic trading firms, while Frostlight provides specialist venture expertise in scaling DeFi infrastructure. They are joined by angel investors with exceptional operational experience, including members of the Daedalus Syndicate. Additionally, Biconomy CEO Ahmed Al-Balaghi joins the round, bringing deep technical expertise to help scale our shared infrastructure goals.

"DeFi has powerful primitives but broken execution. We are fixing this by replacing manual complexity with declarative certainty," shares Calum Roberts, CEO and Founder of Haiku. "With this coalition of partners, we have the market expertise needed to make single swap execution the industry standard.”

Market orders dominate DeFi simply because infrastructure has failed to support sophistication. Haiku changes this.

By enabling declarative execution, we are moving beyond simple swaps to support the complex order types that institutions demand. We are building the infrastructure for TWAPs, VWAPs, and conditional rebalancing on-chain.

As DeFi matures, the gap between primitive power and execution simplicity is the bottleneck. Haiku is the infrastructure layer that closes it.
