We are pleased to announce that Votre, America’s first fully onchain investment bank has raised a $3.75 million seed round. The round was led by @a16zcrypto CSX, with additional participation from @MaCVentureCap , @DruidVentures, @l2iterative, @J17Crypto , Long Run Capital, Ventures, @IDGCapital , @sandeepnailwal , @EV3ventures , @mhventures , @wilsonsonsini , Scombridae, and strategic angels from @GoldmanSachs , @Harvard , and @OrangeDAOxyz as well as Josh Lim and @cory Levy from @zfellows . "We’re proud to back Votre as they bring a measured, compliant approach to the crypto space,” said @adrianfenty of MaC Ventures, the former mayor of the District of Columbia. “With a strong technical foundation and a clear regulatory strategy, they’re well-positioned to succeed as crypto markets evolve in the US.” Legally, today, Votre Inc is a nonbank lender and may be viewed as a swap dealer, operating under the de minimis exemption and does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice (yet!) Our first product is a proprietary, hedged Bitcoin-backed loan product focused on allowing HNWIs to access liquidity. We plan to pursue other regulatory designations over time as we expand our business. Thank you to our incredible backers - back to building!
