KAPITAL.inc announces new offices in Luxembourg and a new look to go with their EU expansion

October 18, 2023

Kapital.inc (formerly HackCapital), the Swiss financial service provider for private market transactions has announced the opening of its new offices in Kirchberg, Luxembourg, and a new name and brand as it expands its private market solutions across Europe.

Founded in 2022, Kapital.inc provides companies, capital allocators, and financial intermediaries with a suite of digitized investment services to structure private market transactions. Over the last year, the company has worked with a growing number of asset managers and private companies across both Europe and the US with the structuring of their capital raises. 

Their solutions, which are centered around securitisation - a procedure of creating a marketable financial instrument that gained particular attraction in the 1970s - enables their customers to easily structure an array of financial products and fundraising mechanisms that unlock new capital towards the private markets. 

Today the company's solutions range from simple SPV’s (Special Purpose Vehicles) used to raise funding into multiple asset types - like green bonds or private company stock - to clearable investments led by financial professionals that are exchangeable on major trading houses - like Euroclear, Clearstream and SIX. 

“Kapital’s solutions enable capital allocators to easily raise and deploy capital that likely wouldn’t have been deployed otherwise. By reducing the costs and complexity of investment structuring services - we’re giving our customers a range of tools that allows them to efficiently broaden their range of investment offerings for their clients” said Arman Anaturk.

According to the company, what sets Kaptial apart from traditional financial service providers is their focus on investing in technology and building software-driven solutions which “radically reduce” the time, costs and risks associated with current investment structuring services. 

“Traditionally, companies in our sector have operated with a labor intensive approach, with little to no investment on internal tech. This has resulted in a sector that’s riddled with high costs, extended timelines and overworked staff. Kapital’s approach has been to take financial solutions to the digital age by building software to replace much of work traditionally done by internal staff” says Camille Bossel. 

Over the last year the company has been operating in a “private beta” mode working with a select number of customers as they build out their suite of investment solutions. During this time they’ve structured close to 100 investment products with their customers, including Single Asset SPVs, ESOP plans, corporate investment vehicles and more. The new branding and Luxembourg offices come as the company looks to further grow their tech and operational team. 

“We’re excited to be opening our offices and growing our tech and operations team here in Luxembourg. As Europe's largest hub for fund and financial service, this location is central for us as we look to strengthen our position across Western Europe. The ecosystem has already warmly welcomed us and we look forward to a few more exciting announcements in the coming months”. 

This announcement also comes with a new leadership appointment as Vincent Oswald, a seasoned entrepreneur and board member on numerous European funds, is joining as Senior Advisor, and partner Camille Bossel is appointed as Executive Director of the Kaptial’s Luxembourg offices.
