Leverest closes seven-figure financing round

The start-up from Frankfurt am Main has developed a platform for financing. The idea also convinced the investment company of the state of Hesse.

Leverest received a seven-figure sum in a seed financing round. Investments were made by Beteiligungs-Managementgesellschaft Hessen (BMH) and a number of business angels.

Founded in 2020 by Jan-Moritz Hohn, the start-up has developed a financing platform. Investors such as private equity funds, industrial holding companies and family offices can use it to plan and finance company takeovers and investments. Lenders such as banks and private debt funds as well as intermediaries such as lawyers can also use the digital debt platform. Leverest now intends to use the capital from the financing round to further develop the platform technologically, introduce new functions and expand its sales structures.

"With Leverest, we want to drastically reduce the enormous effort involved in organizing and processing complex financial transactions for all parties and set new international standards in the field of structured financing and its digitalization," says Leverest founder and CEO Jan-Moritz Hohn. Before founding his start-up, Hohn worked as an investment professional at Avedon Capital Partners, where he planned financings. This gave rise to his idea for a platform that facilitates the process from the selection of offers to the conclusion of financing.
