Particula, a fintech founded in Munich in 2022, has raised 4.9 million euros (5.5 million dollars) in an oversubscribed funding round. The round was led by investors SixThirty Ventures, Vanagon Ventures and Futury Capital. Additionally, TX Ventures, BlackWood Ventures, Tenity and several prominent angel investors participated.
The fresh capital flows into the growth of the AI-based rating platform. It evaluates tokenized assets based on economic, ecological, technological and regulatory criteria. The goal is to provide greater transparency and risk understanding in the world of digital assets. The offering is targeted at institutional investors such as banks, hedge funds, VCs and corporations.
Technology for institutional financial markets
Particula analyzes digital assets in real-time – from the creditworthiness of issuers to the security of smart contracts. The custom-developed analysis infrastructure combines on-chain and off-chain data to create comprehensive risk profiles. This independent risk intelligence supports major financial institutions and trading platforms in investment decisions, among other uses.
Particula was founded by Timm Reinsdorf (CEO), Nadine Wilke (CGO) and Carsten Hermann (CTO). The startup emerged from the incubator of Blockchain Founders Group and has already convinced DAX companies and financial players of its solution.
A strategic step in the course of the funding round is the relocation of the headquarters to the USA. Particula wants to position itself closer to regulatory developments in the world’s most important market for digital assets. The USA is considered a high-growth market with increasing institutional participation and increasingly concrete legal frameworks.
