Our story
Upvest was founded in 2017 by Martin Kassing with the purpose to open up the financial world, providing economic opportunities for all.
Since then, we’ve grown to a 30+ employees company dedicated to empower other financial institutions, and backed by Europe’s top Venture Capital companies.

Our values
Think fearlessly, act fast
We value experimentation and agility, adapting on the fly to find the right way forward.
Step up, stand together
We stand together as a team to deliver the result, even when the going gets tough.
Be street smart
We apply our experience and know-how to take decisions. We do what’s right, not what’s easy.
Low egos, high expectations
Even when it looks like we’re winning, we don’t take our foot off the pedal.
