IRVINE, Calif., May 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fvndit, Inc. (“Fvndit”), a California- and Vietnam-based fintech company, today announced the launch of a $10M digital security offering. Proceeds from the raise will be used to further propel Fvndit’s business objectives as the market leading SME-focused crowd-based funding platform in Vietnam.
Fvndit, pronounced like “Fund it”, is focused on solving the working capital problem for SMEs using technology. The team is comprised of engineers, designers, data scientists, trade finance and banking veterans across 2 locations: Irvine, CA and HCMC, Vietnam. It’s using technology to re-build core parts of the business funding infrastructure and make the underwriting and financing seamless for small businesses. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, eLoan, JSC (“eLoan”), operates an online Peer-to-Peer (P2P) funding and investing marketplace in Vietnam, its current local market. Today, SMEs account for more than 41% of Vietnam’s GDP (of $241B USD) and 97% of all enterprises but still remain largely neglected by traditional banks with 70% of them do not have access or have difficulty in accessing credit. eLoan was launched in late 2017 with a clear mission - to make credit more simple and investing more rewarding. It has facilitated over $5M in loan disbursements with zero loan loss and is experiencing double-digit month-month revenue growth. As the market leader of short-term financing, its mission is to level the playing field for small businesses located in emerging markets and to provide them with simplified financial services.
Digital Security Offering (DSO) and Security Token Offering (STO) are terms used interchangeably to describe offerings of digitized securities and tokenized securities respectively. With issued securities recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, the STO is designed to be an innovative and transformative way for Fvndit to finance growth quickly and to reach as many investors as possible globally with increased transparency and greater efficiency. The newly issued token, FVND, is a security token that is linked to a direct ownership stake in Fvndit through a designated preferred equity class and entitles holders to financial rights and dividends. Further details can be found at https://fvndit.com.
The STO will be conducted in multiple phases with a target raise of $10M USD and is open to both US and non-US investors. This is a US-compliant offering pursuant to applicable Regulation D (506c) and Regulation S exemptions of the SEC. In the first phase, qualified investors will be eligible to subscribe for FVNDs at a 30% discount to the $1.00 issue price. Fvndit will limit the number of tokens that will be issued at this price. Oversubscribed amounts in this phase will be given priority in any subsequent stage of the offering. Securitize will act as technology partner for the issuance and lifecycle of Fvndit’s digital securities, which will be managed by Securitize’s DS Protocol. To subscribe, prospective investors must visit https://fvndit.com to register and submit information and documents necessary to confirm that the prospective investor meets all applicable investor suitability criteria, including those imposed by that prospective investor’s country of domicile.
Tan Tran, CEO of Fvndit, commented, “As a technology company, we strive to be innovative and transparent, bringing trust and confidence to investors interested in our growing business. Investors will now receive shares, represented by tokens, with asset-backed US-based security and an unprecedented level of transparency that’s extremely important for investing in a rising emerging market.” He further added, “Infusing technology into all aspects of our business from raising capital for growth to the front and back of our operations is a key focus in our overall strategy.”
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy FVNDs, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
