Company mission
Elwood's mission is to revolutionise the finance industry as we know it by enabling seamless interaction between financial institutions and the world of digital assets.
29% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
It has been hard to ignore the relentless rise of cryptocurrency from niche to mainstream. The global cryptocurrency market size was valued at $1.5 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $5 billion by 2030, growing at a rate of 12.8%.
In December 2018 Elwood launched its first product, the Elwood Blockchain Global Equity Index, which offered investors exposure to the growth in the blockchain ecosystem via a highly liquid and regulated vehicle. Their ETF business was sold off in 2021, to allow the firm to focus more on providing technology infrastructure for the digital assets market.
Elwood now provide an end-to-end platform that connects global crypto exchanges, custodians, and liquidity providers, via a single API. The platform provides access to market data and analytics, thus providing all the tools needed for institutional investment into digital assets. By providing the tools in order to access the crypto market, Elwood will weather any volatile changes to the crypto markets. Elwood currently serve financial institutions, crypto native funds, and neobanks to invest in and reconcile digital assets.

(CTO)Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Elwood Technologies
- Elwood Technologies is committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion
- Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of our culture, our reputation and our company’s achievements
- We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, colour, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique
- Elwood Technologies’ diversity initiatives are applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development and training; promotions; transfers; social and recreational programmes; layoffs; terminations; and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces:
- Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees
- Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives
- Work/life balance through flexible work schedules to accommodate employees’ varying needs
- Employer and employee contributions to the communities we serve to promote a greater understanding and respect for diversity
- All employees of Elwood Technologies have a responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect at all times. Therefore, all employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, functions on or off the worksite, and at all other company-sponsored and participative events. All employees must also attend and complete annual diversity awareness training to enhance their knowledge to fulfil this responsibility
- Any employee found to have exhibited any inappropriate conduct or behaviour against others may be subject to disciplinary action
- Employees who believe they have been subjected to any discrimination that conflicts with the company’s diversity policy and initiatives should seek assistance from their line manager or an HR representative
- We are consistently striving to improve, and we know that there are some areas where we may not get it right the first time or where we need to learn more. As such, this policy is a living document that may be amended in the future
