The story of Nebeus
Founded in 2014 by Sergey Romanovskiy, Nebeus claims that it initially emerged as one of the world’s first cryptocurrency platforms, concentrating on P2P crypto lending.
After several years in the P2P space, the company underwent a strategic shift in its business model, transitioning from P2P lending to centralised crypto-backed lending.
This transformation aligns with Nebeus’ mission to facilitate the integration of crypto assets into traditional finance, marking a significant evolution in its approach.
In 2019, Nebeus secured its initial venture capital funding. The following year, in 2020, the company raised €1M from 240 individual investors through an equity crowdfunding campaign on the Seedrs platform, backed by the British Business Bank’s Future Fund.
In 2022, Nebeus attained regulatory status and began offering its users electronic money accounts, enhancing its financial service portfolio.
