So I started Luxus in 2021.

It was when venture financing was flowing and crypto and NFTs and metaverse were all the rage.

But it was never really comfortable for me.

I really like the world of a

accredited investors and qualified purchasers.

I liked the institutionality of it all.

So I always try to create those investment opportunities around institutional concepts.

So we got Christie's on our cap table, Christie's Ventures.

They are sort of the number one auction house, in my opinion.

And it was really, really great having them on board.

And I said, why don't we create investment opportunities?

Fractional investments at first, but then we quickly pivoted to buy side, to fund investments.

And we started with gems and jewelry, fancy colored diamonds at first.

And then we found really great product market fit with family offices.
