TLDR:

  • German VC platform AQUATY raises €2.3 million in pre-seed funding.
  • AQUATY aims to reduce entry barriers to venture capital and make private market transactions more accessible.

Münster-based AQUATY has secured €2.3 million in pre-seed funding from angel investors like Mirko Novakovic and Berthold von Freyberg. This funding will help the pioneering technology platform in the venture capital sector reduce entry barriers to venture capital. AQUATY’s platform simplifies private market transactions, enabling digital settlement of investment processes, secondary transactions, and ESOP programs. Using artificial intelligence, AQUATY’s software provides transparency and data-driven decisions in traditionally unstructured private market data. With the addition of Alexander Grimm as Co-Founder and Managing Director, AQUATY is set to expand its reach and make early-stage investments more accessible to a broader market. The platform, founded in 2021, offers a suite of products for VCs, syndicate leaders, private investors, and will soon introduce a product tailored to founders with emphasis on cap table and ESOP management. AQUATY’s goal is to simplify and diversify participation in venture capital investments with small ticket sizes starting at €1,000, similar to an index-ETF for early-stage investments. Alexander Grimm expressed confidence in AQUATY’s technology and infrastructure, highlighting the platform’s ability to streamline VC transactions by increasing efficiency tenfold. Overall, AQUATY aims to make venture capital investments more accessible and support funders in backing innovative founders.
