Pontoro, founded in late 2018 and based in Mountain View, Calif., is creating a patented, structurally differentiated technology solution to unlock greater access to institutional-grade private market real assets. The company's initial focus is addressing the $15 trillion shortfall in infrastructure debt finance. The platform is intended to enable a new type of enhanced private investment product with liquidity generally not readily available in traditional private investments, and features intended to ease fund administration. Pontoro will use the $4.6 million Seed II funding to further develop its technology to provide enhanced customization, pricing, and liquidity to market participants. The company expects to announce an expanded leadership team of seasoned finance and technology executives and is continuing discussions with institutional participants for advancement and adoption of the solution. The recent round was oversubscribed and came at a significant increase in valuation from its previous seed round. Pontoro is a financial technology company building an institutional-grade digital asset securitization and liquidity platform to expand investor participation in infrastructure debt finance. The platform curates bank-originated infrastructure project loans into tokenized and securitized digital asset pools, built on Ethereum and interoperating with other chains. It aims to reduce transaction times and settlement risk, improve cost efficiencies, and enable secondary liquidity and enhanced price discovery for institutional investors. Pontoro plans to accelerate platform development, deepen strategic partnerships with global banks and institutional investors, and continue recruiting senior talent. The company announced a $6 million preferred seed round to fund scaling and product rollout. Its senior leadership and advisors collectively bring a reported $100 billion infrastructure finance track record and experience from firms including J.P. Morgan Asset Management, BitGo, GE Energy Financial Services, InterGen, NASDAQ Private Markets, and the SEC.
