The company’s founder and CEO, Kaidi Ruusalepp, said that Funderbeam was “the future of exchanges, combining three things in one: data, funding and trading, and it’s all happening across borders and on blockchain technology”.
Founded in 2013, Funderbeam has created a blockchain technology-powered platform where companies are funded and traded across borders.
The company is based in Tallinn, Estonia, but moved its headquarters to London a year ago.
