Our take
Traditionally, investing has been the business of companies or individuals who, as a rule, have large amounts of capital at their disposal. This has led to an investment market dominated by large investors: for example, minimum ticket sizes for early stage rounds in the UK are typically around £50k or more, a figure which prohibits market access for a large amount of potential investors.
Vauban's fundamental aim is to change this. Their core product is a technology platform that makes it easier, faster, and more cost effective to pool money to invest in private companies and real estate. By allowing investors to pool capital, they are able to appeal to potential investors previously excluded from the market. Vauban's potential market, then, is considerable, ranging from large investors looking to create diverse portfolios to smaller investors looking to make their first entry into VC.
The beauty of a platform like Vauban's is that it allows access to a huge range of investment opportunities, making the business inherently scalable. For example, the company is currently focused on using recent funding to launch a real estate product, and there is great potential for it to expand into other sectors. Having attracted investment from leading VC's including the likes of Pi Labs, Vauban is well set to continue expanding its international client base of over 3000 investors.
