The three companies we feature in this edition are developing platforms which will democratize access to services and industries which have not necessarily been open to the public at large. Aventure Trading, CHICanny, and Kadama are leveraging the advantages that innovative tech brings to create access points to services which their users would not have been able to enjoy previously.
Aventure Trading
Aventure Trading is a bond trading platform that simplifies the bond market for the new age investor. It aims to make saving for your future as easy as picking a song on Spotify or creating a Twitter account. The Aventure platform also provides an educational tool to decrease information asymmetry, which is prevalent in the private investment space, and an advanced recommendation service that tailors investing to a user’s particular needs. The Aventure team are currently working on the first iteration of their platform. They are actively working with experienced professionals in the fixed-income industry to build out their platform, adding features and service offerings based on the input of these industry experts.
