Robin Binder, Founder and CEO of NAO said, “The second closing of our Seed round supports us in the strategic development and expansion of NAO, We see ourselves as clear pioneers of a trend that is now also being adopted by major players in the market. The trust of additional investors confirms the success of our business model and our vision.”

Through its co-investment platform, it allows people to invest in alternative assets starting at €1,000. The platform makes it easy to invest with just three clicks, giving access to investments that were typically reserved for the rich and institutional investors.

Users can choose from six asset classes provided by well-known banks and asset managers. In 2024, it also added B2B solutions for venture capital investments in partnership with Chartered Investment.

Serial founder Jens Hilgers, Founding General Partner BITKRAFT Ventures said, “New generations of investors are increasingly managing their assets independently and are actively seeking access to asset classes beyond the public markets. With NAO, Robin and his team have developed an excellent product that serves this trend, NAO’s success lies in ease-of-use, transparency and trust. I am convinced that NAO reflects these qualities and will give alternative assets a new lease of life with its approach.”

With Alomar joining, it gains an international expert for its Advisory Board. Alomar shares his reason for joining, saying, “NAO is helping to make unique investment opportunities available to more people, and their platform has shown strong potential. As it expands globally, it will give consumers more opportunities to take advantage of these investments.”
