About Antonio Rami
Antonio (Toni) Rami is a co-founder of Kantox, a currency management and foreign exchange (FX) company. A 2011 TechCrunch article on the Kantox beta described him and Philippe Gelis as two ex-Deloitte consultants behind a peer-to-peer FX hedging product. His LinkedIn profile lists him as Founder and Chief Growth Officer at Kantox and gives his location as Singapore.
A 2026 press release from Vertex Ventures describes him as co-founder of Kantox, which it says BNP Paribas acquired. He also posts on LinkedIn about FORMAS.AI and about founder topics such as diversification.
The only angel investment we could confirm is FORMAS.AI. We found no public record of his other angel deals, such as a Crunchbase or PitchBook profile, a personal site or a published list of investments. Founders should not assume a wider track record than the one round below.
FORMAS.AI announced a US$3.98M oversubscribed pre-seed round on 29 April 2026, led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India. Other investors named were UntroD Capital, Hustle Fund, Big Sky Capital and Orvel Ventures. The announcement lists Rami among the participating angels, alongside Jeffrey Tiong of Patsnap, the founding team of Zopim and Bradley Tabone of Hammertech.
FORMAS.AI is an AI-native design workspace for architecture, engineering and construction. Its press materials say it orchestrates more than 60 specialist AI models. It reports more than 500,000 designs generated across 135 countries since its public beta in November 2025. The company is based in Singapore and plans to expand in the US, Europe and Japan.
One confirmed deal is too few to infer a thesis. That deal was a pre-seed AI application company for the architecture, engineering and construction industry, based in Singapore. He has made no public statement we could find about the stages, sectors or geographies he prefers, or about his check size. His operating background is in fintech and FX, and he is based in Singapore.
