Equity based Finance
To enable entrepreneurs at our partner universities, to build great companies, we bridge the finance gap with equity based lending, that allivates startups from high interst rates and lenders from inflation concerns, briding the key gap in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, seed finance.

For investors and ourselves the digital first approach allows realtime monitoring of startups and ensuring longterm sucess.
