We are Silvr
Silvr is evolving
like those we support
Silvr was born out of frustration. Nima and Greg have been active participants of the European entrepreneurial ecosystem for the past 15 years. They have experienced first-hand how hard it is to get funding. So in 2020, they teamed up to solve the challenge that every business faces when trying to secure growth and continuity. That solution is Silvr. Our vision is to empower business owners - the builders of tomorrow. And we do that by making business funding more accessible, with the help of our data-based scoring technology. For the hundreds of companies we financed, securing capital has never been so fast and easy. With over €330M raised in equity and debt from 2020, we aim to empower many more business owners across Europe by creating the funding experience they deserve.
