Taking European Capital Formation, Liquidity, and Exits to the Next Levels.
About Our Company
In the U.S., we would be called investment bankers, but in Europe, one must be licensed as a bank to use variations of “bank” in any description of services.
​
As such, we act as financial advisors to companies from startup to exit, offering the same types of services that investment bankers offer in America.
These services include capital raising at every stage of the
corporate lifecycle, ongoing capital structure and valuation
advice, M&A advice, exit advice, and successorship financing.
INVESTORS
Because every instrument is tokenized and because capital has been committed to market making, investors using our platform gain secondary market liquidity benefits day one.
Furthermore, companies often take investor funds and then forget about the investors instead of treating them as their most important customers.
Because we only work with companies that agree to the regimen outlined under the “Companies” tab, we not only increase deal flow quality for investors, we also increase the likelihood of ultimate exits at higher valuations.
NETWORKS
We partner with angel networks, incubators, and accelerators to enable each of them to be more effective in raising capital
for their constituents, while increasing the likelihood of ultimate success for each investor.
​
Instruments used for capital raising will vary depending on optimal capital structures and capital raising methods will vary depending on where the company is in its lifecycle.
In other words, capital raising solutions for startups and early- stage companies will differ from opportunities for mature
companies, and asset heavy or working capital heavy companies will have different needs than most tech companies.
COMPANIES
We only work with founders who are coachable, committed to treating investors as if they were their most important customers, adhere to KPIs, and regularly communicate with their investors.
These companies must cede strategic control to outside investors in the form of preference shares that elect the majority of the board of directors and dictate capital formation strategies and exits.
Whenever the company is ultimately successful, the founders will likely garner significantly more than they would otherwise.
Cause and Effect
The Problem:
European startups suffer from funding gaps, lack of scaling capital, and exit limitations.
The Solution:
Migrate Switzerland’s leading crowdfunding technology (Aktionariat) into the EU and EEA.
(CHF 60M raised for 70 Swiss companies).
Tokenization
Permits efficient clearing and settlement necessary for secondary markets.
Shares only
No SAFEs, fixed income, convertibles, warrants, etc.
Unregulated
Passive – no active selling of securities, and secondary trading is unavailable.
Our Aproach
Obtaining a European Crowdfunding Service Provider (“ECSP”) license, which permits:
The tokenization of other instruments:
SAFEs, fixed income, convertibles, warrants, and options
The active selling of any type of security:
Wall St. axiom – “Shares are sold not bought”
Immediate secondary trading and market-making:
Providing limited liquidity for investors.
Capital Raising
The platform may be used to issue common shares, preferred shares, SAFEs, debt, convertibles, and warrants depending on
the needs of the company and the appetites of investors.
Later on, we have the expertise to raise capital via venture funds, private equity, bank lending, IPOs on regional exchanges, Reg A+ in the U.S., SPACs, and IPOs on NASDAQ
and the NYSE.
Exits
For every investor, the ultimate goal is an exit at the highest valuation. There are numerous ways to exit along the company’s lifecycle. For example, we provide limited liquidity
day one.
Beyond that, we have the expertise to advise on/arrange asset sales/liquidations, the sale of the company, and exits involving capital raising such as IPOs on regional exchanges, Reg A+ in
the U.S., SPACs, and IPOs on NASDAQ and the NYSE.
