CashLink wants to digitalize Venture Capital by putting it on BlockchainIn our legal framework ... you can sell your startup shares basically at any time at very low transaction costs, because it is now digital.

Michael Duttlinger, CEO and Co-Founder CashLink

The startupCashLink is a tokenization platform based in Frankfurt. The startup helps other startups to issue securities in the form of security tokes. Their idea comes from their own experience in raising venture capital, they still remember the pain of raising venture capital in an all paper-based environment. They also lower the transaction cost for each VC round, based on their platform.

So they decided to take on that minor challenge of digitizing the German venture capital scene. CashLink is currently offering its service for startups in Germany and investors from the European Union, but they are working on extending their service to startups all over the European Union.

In the near future we will see more hybrid (financed) startups, wo have tokenized and non-tokenized shares.
