Our why

Startups are changing the world around us and have been one of the most successful investment classes for their investors. However, only the wealthiest 3% of the population have benefited from this, while the other 97% are excluded. This needs to change!

Our Mission

We believe everyone should be able to invest in startups. For that purpose we use blockchain technology and the newly created DLT Bill to finally democratize startup investments. We empower everyone to buy and sell startup shares whenever they want.

Our history

Like you, we were looking for a solution to invest in startups. However, we were disappointed with the current solutions available because of their high ticket sizes, long lock-up periods, and lack of quality checks on the startups. For this reason we decided to create Arcton.

Our team

Our philosophy is simple — we believe everyone should be able to invest in startups with the same flexibility as if it was a listed company
