KR1

About The Fund

KR1 plc is Europe's leading digital asset investment company, focused on supporting the growth and innovation within the blockchain ecosystem. Founded in March 2016 by George McDonaugh and Keld van Schreven, with Janos Berghorn as the Chief Investment Officer, the firm has been actively involved in the space since the early days of digital assets. KR1 is unique among investment entities as it participates predominantly in digital assets rather than traditional start-up equity, offering a transparent operation with a publicly traded structure. This allows individuals to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency markets through KR1's portfolio without directly holding digital assets. The company's shares are traded on the APX segment of the AQSE Growth Market. KR1 is not just an investor but also engages in revenue-generating staking activities. The firm's minimum investment is $100,000, with a maximum investment cap of $5,000,000, and a sweet spot for initial investments around $1,500,000. It specializes in early-stage funding, focusing on Seed and Series A rounds within sectors such as FinTech, Financial Services, IoT, Wearables, Blockchain, Cryptos, and Insurance, including InsurTech. KR1's management team comes from diverse backgrounds and includes experts like Rhys Davies, Mona El Isa, and Aeron Buchanan, providing insight and connections that span the financial and technology sectors. KR1's philosophy is that digital assets represent an unparalleled opportunity, which is substantiated by their long-standing track record and commitment to investing in pivotal projects in the decentralization and blockchain landscape.
