Nebeus’ Series-A fundraising follows investment from the Future Fund in December 2020
Leading cryptocurrency platform, Nebeus now seeks to raise £5m of Series-A funding to accompany the platform’s mission in giving people a platform to bridge the gap between crypto and cash by allowing crypto-asset owners to access instant cash, financial services, and even earn using their crypto without selling it. The funding will be used to support Nebeus’ core focus areas: Research and Development efforts and new product launches (25%), Marketing (35%), Resource (20%), and the Nebeus Mastercard rollout (20%).
Globally, there is more than £1 Trillion held in millions of crypto wallets around the world, and although there are only a handful of ways to use crypto in everyday life, cryptocurrencies are more than just investments. People can use them to access financial services, allowing them to borrow and earn. Crypto-collateralized lending has grown by 1170% since the end of 2019, and the experts estimate that the market’s potential size is £990M. Nebeus is a crypto-backed loans platform with a whole ecosystem of accompanying products allowing consumers to access both crypto and financial services.

With the colossal increases in the value of cryptocurrencies this past year, it’s no surprise that investors and novices alike are taking a keen interest in investing their money in digital currency. With this in mind, Nebeus is commencing its Series-A fundraising, focussing its efforts on securing funds from a global investor to be a part of the platform’s continued growing success.
This fundraising effort is a build-on December’s pre–Series A and a follow-on from Nebeus’s Seedrs investment round, which saw a convertible loan crowdfunding campaign gain support from 248 investors, and match funding from the U.K. taxpayer-funded Future Fund, which has now come to a close.

Nebeus is currently valued at £14.6M, and its revenue has been growing, on average, by 23.81% year on year since its launch. The recent pre-Series-A crowdfunding campaign has further boosted this growth on Seedrs, and the investment gained from the Government’s Future Fund.
Michael Stroev, the COO & Head of Product at Nebeus, said: “We already offer a variety of products and services on our platform, which places us in and amongst the industry leaders across the world. This Series-A funding will allow us to continue to push the boundaries and focus our efforts on delivering new and innovative products to both the crypto and fintech worlds.”
