Record Series A Raised by New European Leaders in Crypto, SwissBorg
Lausanne, Switzerland–(Newsfile Corp. – March 15, 2023) – With just 2 weeks to go, European-based crypto investment platform, SwissBorg, has gathered nearly 14,000 investors across three jurisdictions in its Series A fundraising – one of the largest on record for an early investment round.
SwissBorg has quickly become a major European player in crypto, having acquired over a million app users and over 150 million in revenue since launching its crypto investment app in 2021. The Swiss crypto asset management company, which raised CHF52m, was among the most successful ICOs of the ICO . boom 5 years ago.

Community first philosophy
The co-founders, Cyrus Fazel and Anthony Lesoismier, have become known in the area for their community-first approach to business.
“At SwissBorg, we never use the word ‘customer’. For us, this means us and them. Our vision has always been to create a community that cooperates on the same level with the common goal of creating a fairer and meritocratic future.” – Cyrus Fazel, CEO and co-founder of SwissBorg
With this in mind, the recent launch of their Multi-Asset Launchpad tool is aimed at bringing early investment opportunities usually enjoyed by a select few to the masses. Their own Series A has led the way here, allowing any member of the public with $100 to become a shareholder.
Back in 2018, SwissBorg conducted the first ever blockchain referendum to allow their ICO investors, right from the start, to decide the direction they wanted to take their product – desktop or mobile.
Growth forecasts
Crypto offerings from major brands have boosted the adoption rate, with researchers projecting 1 billion people worldwide to use crypto by 2030. Last year alone saw the adoption rate continue to rise from 306 million in January to 425 million in December – another 39%.
SwissBorg implemented a “dynamic valuation” model with the Series A fundraising, where the valuation of the holding unit in the group is determined based on the proceeds from the fundraising. This came true with their community – regardless of whether the total fundraising amount is achieved or not, investors will receive the maximum possible ownership.
In the short term, SwissBorg will continue to grow its Earn product, connecting users with decentralized financial platforms that generate returns on cryptoassets in a transparent manner, and their Thematics product, which allows users to invest in a bundle of cryptoassets according to to their faith.
They estimate the following impact on the number of users who have completed onboarding (KYC).

Road to accessibility
SwissBorg’s vision is to make wealth accessible to everyone. Their app is often touted as a leader for its ease of use and security – noted here by independent reviewers Coin Bureau.
With this in mind, CSO Anthony Lesoismier plans to steer the company towards decentralized products to give users firm control over their wealth, including plans for a Web3 wallet to give users of the SwissBorg app further access to the world of decentralized finance.
“Decentralization and crypto exist as a way to make a financial world that is more fair and equitable. The transition to decentralized finance (DeFi) will not happen overnight. Building a centralized system infused with the value and transparency of DeFi will be key to enable this transition. This is what SwissBorg will stand for.” – Anthony Lesoismier, CSO and co-founder of SwissBorg.
