Company mission
To let algorithms manage your crypto portfolio for you.
Our take
Managing your crypto isn’t always easy, but Sommelier aims to change that with its automated processes for optimizing yield on your digital assets.
The technology is unique, and allows for complex liquidity management transactions to take place via encrypted automation, rather than manual processing, using strategy insight from Seven Seas Capital and Cleargate Capital, as well as its own machine learning models. Essentially, rather than you working how to turn your crypto into more crypto, Sommelier does it all for you.
It's one of a number of start-ups shaking up the asset management market by focusing on crypto, but its perspective is a unique one and has gained attention. Its gained impressive funding, which is being focused on the growth of its community and the expansion of its services.
