At Semper, we use liquidity to align the interests of private companies, team members and investors. We help forward-looking companies attract and retain builders by giving them real ownership of the value they create.
We created Semper because the start-up world has changed. Staying private longer has given companies the freedom to grow on their own terms. But it has also significantly increased “time to liquidity” for the team members who create much of the value. Companies should be able to remain private while enabling those builders to benefit from the wealth they create - aligning incentives and encouraging greater growth.
In order to do this, Semper has pioneered venture liquidity finance to help companies unlock their biggest asset – equity – for their other biggest asset – their team members. This ensures everyone stays aligned on long-term value creation.
Companies may worry that recurring liquidity events will be complicated to manage- but they shouldn’t. Semper’s Team Liquidity Programs make it seamless for teams to have the opportunity to de-risk and benefit from their hard work, while keeping their company’s captable simple.
We believe that team members are the unsung heroes behind many iconic companies’ success. Hence, our goal is to empower companies to share their wealth on fairer terms. This will create a virtuous loop in our ecosystem - putting more resources into the pockets of builders and supporting companies to innovate and grow.
As entrepreneurs & investors who have built liquidity programs for a range of innovative companies, we understand what different stakeholders in this ecosystem need. That’s why Semper is so easy-to-use and reliable and why we focus on creating value for all stakeholders as well as being well-governed, properly regulated and backed by top investors.

Anyone can learn to program. We are convinced of that! Learning to work with code is becoming increasingly important. The tech industry is growing enormously, as a result of which the demand for people with the right skills is growing faster than the supply. With an innovative way of teaching, we ensure that our students develop these necessary skills. We train developers to start working immediately and teach professionals how to perform their work more efficiently with the help of (low/no-) code tools.
Winc Academy makes learning to program accessible to everyone by offering remote training courses, which you can start right away. All courses can be followed at your own pace and without any specific prior education. Despite this flexible approach, we find it important that Winc remains personal. We know our students and you know us and your fellow students! Learning (online) together is much more fun and instructive than alone.
Winc was founded in 2018 as a 100% remote school, so remote learning is in our DNA. We do not believe that it is enough to put a camera on a teacher and have everyone log in at home via a video conferencing tool. Remote teaching is much more than that. For example, how do you build a teaching program so students do not lose their attention? Or how do we ensure that we stay in touch with each other? How do we achieve a learning goal together? And how do we know if you really get it?
We've spent a lot of love and attention on all of these themes, and continue to do so on a daily basis. Because of this, our model has continued to improve in recent years.

The future of Vintage Cash Cow
We’ve grown from a company built out of the public’s need for an easier way to sell old items, to a service disrupting the market that shows no sign of slowing down.
Exciting development is on our horizon: new markets, innovative technology and fresh strategies. Vintage Cash Cow is backed by various investors including the founders of Just Eat, Treatwell, WeTransfer and So Wifi — allowing us the opportunity to invest steadily into the future of our service.
