Julian von Loesch, PhD
Founder & Chief Investment Officer
Raised in the Bavarian Alps and educated in economics at Harvard, his work expanded into psychology (PhD) and the mechanics of human judgment, how decisions get made when stakes are high and narratives are unreliable.
He began trading during the financial crisis and was shaped by mentors emphasizing different disciplines: systems thinking (Ed Seykota) and mathematical rigor (Bob Bright).
He spent five years in India studying attention, impulse, and decision-making, how discipline is built when nobody's watching.
In 2024, he joined 1.2 Capital as Head of Strategic Development, later becoming General Partner. In 2025, he founded Gravion Capital.
Gravion's symbol, a shield with descending stairs, represents disciplined descent beneath surface noise into first principles.
Dr. Torsten Beck
Chief Science Officer
Torsten earned his PhD in Nuclear Physics at Goethe University Frankfurt and spent six years at GSI Helmholtz Centre building the operating system for AGATA, real-time pattern recognition and pulse-shape analysis at nuclear scale.
Early in his career he applied neural networks, genetic algorithms, and swarm theory to complexity problems, years before they became mainstream in finance.
He later applied pattern recognition and complexity theory to autonomous driving systems at Bosch and systemic risk modeling at Allianz, managing cross-functional teams of 100+ engineers.
He spent twelve years in India teaching quantum physics and studying how ancient systems logic maps to modern complexity theory.
