Crypterium, an award-winning financial technology startup, recently raised more than €3.1 million. The money came almost exclusively from European investors via the fundraising platform Seedrs. With less than one third of its customers coming from Europe, and European investment regulation making it impossible for non-European investors to participate in the initial fundraising, Crypterium plans to hold a wider investment round for global investors. According to the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Crypterium, Austin Kimm, “being a global startup we should have global investors, and since so many of our European investors are already Crypterium users, it only seems fair to open up the investment opportunity to our non-European Users and if other people want to invest at the same time, then of course they are welcome”. Although there are currently no details about the date of the next investment round, the Crypterium team has hinted that it will start this year.
The initial fundraising target of €1 million was hit within just 36 hours and eventually closed with an astounding 210% overfunding from investors. The equity share of the fundraising campaign stood at 3.48%, causing the capital influx to push the valuation of Crypterium to €85 million.
How the Fund will be UtilizedAll funds raised during the first investment round will be channeled exclusively to product development and promotional efforts. The current capital inflow is expected to improve core business areas such as quality of service, increase product capability, and help to expand the reach of Crypterium's services around the world. Here is a concise breakdown of the funds:
- 22% will go to B2B business unit expansion
- Another 22% will be designated for global marketing efforts
- 17% will go to the launch of new products and human resources.
- Another 17% will be used for the licensing of fiat currency.
- 11% will serve as additional coverage for the Crypterium Card
- The remaining 11% will be used for product improvement and customer support.
