Our Story
As a retail investor, I kept running into the same problem: the internet is filled with generic trading advice / tips.
“Buy this stock.” “Watch that sector.” “Sell before it’s too late.”
​
But here is the problem: Every tip had to be retrofitted into my portfolio, my risk tolerance, my goals. That translation step — from generic noise to personal action — was exhausting.
​
And the information firehose never stopped. Headlines, earnings reports, analyst opinions, sudden price moves — I’d spend hours trying to process it all, only to end up feeling more overwhelmed than informed.
​
High-net-worth investors glide through the same chaos with teams of advisors doing that work for them — scanning, filtering, and surfacing only what matters.
​
And it’s about time everyday investors had the same advantage. Not more noise, not more generic tips — but personalized assistance that processes the flood of information and makes it make sense for you.
​
That’s why we built Qasi.​
We started Qasi to solve our own pain — but the mission is bigger: to democratize the kind of tailored investing support once reserved for the wealthy few.
​
Qasi is here to be your calm in the chaos — your personal edge in the markets.
Nuwan Samarasekera
Founder / CEO
I’ve spent the past 14 years building software products that power millions of users around the world. At Google, I provided technical leadership for the GPay team, working across growth, server infrastructure, and social infrastructure. Before that, I helped deliver consumer fintech solutions for clients like DBS, UoB, and Mastercard, as well as trading platforms such as Mubasher.
But beyond my career in tech, investing has always been my passion. I’ve been trading since the age of 16 — across U.S. equities, crypto, and even a stint in forex. I’m also a certified investment advisor at the Colombo Stock Exchange, blending professional expertise with hands-on market experience.
With Qasi, I’ve brought together my two lifelong passions — building software and investing — to solve the exact pain points I’ve faced as a retail investor. My goal is simple: to democratize access to the kind of personalized portfolio intelligence that, until now, only the wealthy few could afford.
