Our Shanghai office recently hosted Tower China’s first Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) panel: From Golf to Life. The discussion blended leadership insights with personal reflection, featuring Chris Shen, founder of WELINKS, a women-led indoor golf brand redefining how urban professionals in China experience the sport. Chris shared her journey as an entrepreneur and the lessons golf offers beyond the course — power, honesty, resilience, and focus. We wrapped up with an indoor golf outing for Tower colleagues, turning inspiration into practice and continuing WIN’s mission to foster authentic leadership, inclusion, and connection across our global offices.

🚴♂️ Tower at Rides FAR 2025 🚴♀️ This past weekend, we were proud to support the Rides FAR charity cycling event, with Tower joining hundreds of riders nationwide to raise funds for the Autism Science Foundation — which funds evidence-based autism research and provides crucial support to autism families. Rides FAR (For Autism Research) has grown into one of the most anticipated charity events on the Street, and we’ve been honored to support them for the past several years. Events like this reflect Tower’s commitment not only to excellence in trading, but also to the communities where we live and work. A big congratulations to our team for taking part — and a heartfelt thank you to the organizers and fellow riders who made the day such a success.

We always enjoy connecting with the next generation of talent — and especially with students from a school that has given Tower so many outstanding colleagues.🐝

Last month, Tower Research Ventures hosted cybersecurity researcher Vineeth Sai Narajala for a deep dive into the emerging threat vectors posed by generative AI and agentic tools. Key takeaways: - LLMs are probabilistic — unlike traditional software, you can’t guarantee outputs - AI agents act like humans — from external malicious threats to internal accidents - Speed is the risk — agents can cause damage not just within seconds, but within CPU cycles - Security tradeoffs — static permissions inherited from root humans vs. AI-native just-in-time credentials We’re investing in solutions built for this new era of AI + security.
