daura

Daura is a Swiss financial services and fintech startup that aims to revolutionize the capital market for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by digitizing the process of issuing and managing shares. Established in 2018, the company's slogan "Wir bringen KMU an den Kapitalmarkt und Investor Relations ins digitale Zeitalter! 🌱🚀" reflects its mission to bring SMEs to the capital market and modernize investor relations.

One of the key aspects of daura is its user-friendly platform that enables companies to digitize their shares with a simple click, while allowing global investors to conveniently access and manage these shares for free using digital devices. This streamlined approach not only enhances efficiency in capital procurement but also presents novel opportunities for employee incentivization and customer engagement.

In addition to facilitating seamless information exchange between companies and shareholders and conducting digital general meetings, daura also provides investors with access to private markets, thus promoting the democratization of investing, including in sustainable innovations.

The startup has gained substantial support and recognition through a corporate round investment in December 18, 2019, with a significant participation from Sygnum and SIX. This backing has allowed daura to further its goal of integrating with leading financial institutions such as Berner Kantonalbank and leveraging partnerships to make digital shares tradable at the SME|X market.

As a joint venture involving BDO, Berner Kantonalbank, SIX, Swisscom, Sygnum Bank, Luka Müller (MME), and Christian Wenger (Wenger&Vieli), daura enjoys a position as a market leader in its industry.

The company’s innovative approach in facilitating access to capital markets for SMEs and its strategic partnerships with well-established financial entities position daura as a disruptive force in the financial and fintech sectors, with the potential to drive significant change in how companies and investors interact and engage in the digital era.
