Otta's take on Upvest

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Upvest is a fintech startup that empowers financial services companies to provide their customers with access to a full range of financial assets, including stocks, ETFs and crypto products. Upvest's investment API integrates seamlessly with its customers existing systems and is designed to scale easily, freeing companies from the need to develop their own brokerage and custody infrastructure from scratch.

As one of the few companies in Germany that is licensed for both the custody of traditional securities and crypto, Upvest is able to provide its services across Europe. Its solution has been readily adopted by some major players in the space including Ginmon, Vivid and ABN AMRO.

Upvest is backed by a number of Europe's largest tech VCs (Earlybird, Notion Capital, Partech, HV Capital, ABN AMRO Ventures). In 2022 it closed a Series B investment round which has allowed it to expand its team. Focusing for now on product development and growing its European client base, it has longer term plans to expand to the US market.

Company benefits

Greenfield projects - We’re building something quite complex. A first in Europe. This means you get to work with cutting-edge technologies, with no legacy code.

Wellbeing - Everyone here has access to our in-house coach. You can have regular sessions to support you personally and professionally. We also believe it’s important to have time out to rest and recover, which is why we offer 30 days’ holiday.

Development - In keeping with one of our values, ‘Learn and grow’, every Upvenger has access to a development budget. And in line with one of our other values, ‘Own the outcome’, how you make the most of it is up to you.

Flexibility - We work in a hybrid set-up, with the team spread around Germany and other parts of Europe. We give you the choice and budget to work where you’re most comfortable and productive, either at home or in the office. You choose.
