We believe that the future of money and the internet should be more open and fair. That everybody with internet should have equal access to economic opportunities, and that this brave new future is possible. It can be realised through crypto. That's why we started Argent: the world's most simple and secure smart wallet for Ethereum. It puts the power of crypto into the hands of anyone with a phone. Empowering you to control and prosper from your digital assets and identity. Store, save and send; borrow, earn interest and invest. No-nonsense and non-custodial.

Were changing the way people run small businesses in Europe by making bookkeeping and accounting simple. Our team works to create an easy to use, understandable and efficient way of administrating small and medium size businesses. We handle millions of transactions, helping our customer invoice and pay thousands salaries every month. We believe in helping entrepreneurs, carpenters, drivers and many more focus on their core skills instead of admin. It should be easy and hassle free to run a business. Thousands of companies renovate homes, drive you to where you need to be, fix your plumbing, take care of the elderly, and operate in all parts of our society. We help all these people and organisations to focus on whats important to them and after all, we all share the same passion and inspiration of delivering a great service. Were in it for the long run. And building our service takes a lot of energy and investment, and were not alone. Bokio investors include Creandum, Svea Ekonomi and many more. Collectively they have invested more than 14.5 million euro into Bokio. Our investors were among the first backers of Spotify, Klarna and iZettle. As part of Barclays Techstars in London we are confident we will make a dent on the European fin-tech scene. Changing the world isnt easy, and the core in doing so is our team. Were open minded, multicultural, top level talents and if you are a high performer, innovative thinker and want to change the world, you might be what we are looking for.
