Money AI & DU-SHELL Built by Duke
Duke Yeung isn’t waiting for the world to catch up. He’s building the next one—fast.
Before launching Money AI and DU-SHELL, Duke had already failed once—a language app that never stuck—but it turned into a lesson in resilience. He regrouped, rebuilt, and quietly founded three startups before his 22nd birthday.
No splashy pitch decks. No Y Combinator. Just speed, strategy, and serious conviction.
Active in the AI builder community and based in Hong Kong, Duke is now tackling two of the biggest puzzles in tech:
→ Personal finance (Money AI: LLM-powered money coach)
→ ESG compliance (DU-SHELL: AI-driven data & reporting engine)
No headline hype. Just high-output execution. And a founder wired for the long game.
