For over two years, Thomas Winkler, Antonio Tomamichel, Werner Ullmann and I have worked to launch Denario here in Switzerland. It was not easy to get the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA to approve the first and only digital token for physical silver stored in Swiss vaults. We are thrilled to announce that we are not only live, but have already started receiving signed convertible notes from qualified accredited investors. I am leaving Switzerland for Africa on Monday, and it is likely that we will be fully subscribed before I return to the States at the end of April. If we have discussed this previously and you are interested, please feel free to email or text me. #Startup #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship #Fintech #Blockchain #Silver #TechStartup
