Tiger Royalties and Investments Plc (Tiger), an AIM listed technology venture investment firm, is excited to announce a significant milestone in its growth strategy. In a groundbreaking move, Tiger's wholly-owned subsidiary, Bixby Technology Inc., has secured its first incubation partnership with AROK.VC, a pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) venture capital project focused on meme coins.
This partnership marks a key step in Bixby Technology’s mission to identify, incubate, and scale cutting-edge technology ventures. The collaboration with AROK.VC is especially notable as it represents a leap into the rapidly growing field of AI-driven financial innovation, focusing on a novel aspect of the cryptocurrency space — in particular, meme coins.
The AROK.VC Project
AROK is an automated venture capital agent leveraging advanced AI technology to make data-driven decisions. With a remarkable portfolio of over US$1.27 million in meme coins under management, AROK exemplifies the disruptive potential of AI in finance. Unlike human investors, AROK makes its trading decisions purely based on data, eliminating emotional biases and enhancing decision-making precision.
Leo Mercier, the founder of AROK, explains, “Humans trade with varying degrees of emotion, but AROK trades only with data. This partnership is not just about meme coins—it's about machines understanding what moves markets and reshaping the financial landscape. The synergy of humans and AI presents enormous potential for the future.”
Key Terms of the Partnership
Key highlights of the partnership between Bixby Technology Inc and AROK.VC:
Incubation Services: Bixby Technology Inc. will provide support to the development of the AROK project, encompassing marketing, development, operations, and strategic direction.
Token Allocation: As part of this partnership, Bixby Technology Inc. will receive 100 million AROK.VC tokens in exchange for its incubation services. At the time of announcement (January 22, 2025), these tokens have a market value of US$850,000 (0.00003355 SOL per token). However, the actual value of the tokens may fluctuate due to market volatility and liquidity.

Jonathan Bixby, Director of Tiger Royalties, remarked, “Our approach is to incubate and scale ambitious commercial ideas, and AROK is the perfect first example of this model in action. We are excited about the potential of AI to transform the venture capital industry and believe AROK will play a significant role in this evolution.”
The Future of AI and Venture Capital
This partnership signals the convergence of two powerful forces—AI and venture capital—in shaping the future of the financial landscape. The AI-powered trading strategies employed by AROK are poised to disrupt traditional market mechanisms, offering efficiency, precision, and scalability. As AI agents continue to emerge as one of the most transformative technologies in finance, Tiger and Bixby Technology are well-positioned to leverage these advancements to their advantage.
Both parties are confident that this collaboration will pave the way for future breakthroughs and unlock new investment opportunities within the rapidly evolving tech landscape. As Jonathan Bixby concludes, “The growth of AI Agents in the venture capital space is one of the most exciting developments in tech, and we are proud to be part of this journey with AROK.”
