Ceno
Ceno is building a mobile app that lets U.S. investors discover, understand, and invest in Asian companies through their home-market listings. Users can search by company name or local ticker—such as Samsung or 005930—to see the exchange, local price, chart, and key statistics in one view. The app also surfaces translated local headlines from sources like Korea Economic Daily and Yonhap to provide market context in English.

Problem
U.S. investors interested in well-known Asian companies often face fragmented access, limited local-market context, and the difficulty of navigating foreign exchanges and listings. Existing tools typically offer U.S. depositary receipts or ADRs rather than the underlying home-market shares, obscuring price discovery and local sentiment.
Solution
Ceno provides a single, simple app for U.S. investors to search, understand, and invest in Asian companies through their home-market listings. Users can search a company by name or local ticker—such as Samsung or 005930—and instantly see the exchange, local price, quote time, chart, and key statistics in one place. The platform also surfaces translated local headlines from sources like Korea Economic Daily and Yonhap, helping investors understand the context driving each stock. Before executing a trade, users review the share quantity, value, fees, and total in a confirmation step. Ceno is initially focused on Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, bringing familiar companies and local context into one integrated workflow.
Target Audience
Primary users are U.S. retail investors seeking direct exposure to well-known Asian companies, particularly those listed in Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, who want local-market transparency and context.
