What is your unique selling proposition (USP)?

Konsento offers register management (share register, participants, etc., beneficial ownership), investor communication, general meetings and board meetings as well as corporate document management and deal room from a single source. Through the platform's internal marketplace, we also offer other services related to equity management, such as company valuation, consulting for the development of a financing strategy, the creation of employee stock ownership plans (ESOP, PSOP, etc.), company formation, tokenization of shares, etc. Konsento is thus a one-stop store for entrepreneurs, their boards of directors and investors.

Why is it advisable that we, as a small startup, already rely on Konsento?

And finally, Konsento can be used to prove the unbroken, legally compliant chain of ownership of shares. These are all indispensable prerequisites for future growth with external investors and the subsequent realization of an exit. Our digital solution also offers further support in all processes - right from the start.

How do you make sure that I, as a startup, don't unnecessarily hang myself along processes that I don't actually need (yet)?
