Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany Media PartnershipThis podcast is in media partnership with the FinTech Forum (http://www.fintechforum.de/). The FinTech Forum - launched 2013 in Frankfurt am Main - is the first and largest hub for FinTechs in Continental Europe, with a community of more than 12.000 companies. With more than 17 events, with more than 270 startups on stage, and more than 1.000 investors and financial institutions. FTF alumni have raised $310mn+ in funding and resulted in exits worth $300mn+ .   Our level of paranoia level is right at the top. The security for crypto assets must be even on a higher level than for banks. Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany   The FounderWe talk to the CEO and Co-Founder Martin Kreitmair (https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-kreitmair). He is not only with Tangany, but also a member of the Board of Germany’s blockchain association called Bundesblock (https://bundesblock.de/).  He has a master’s in computer science and has been working at a startup for more than seven years, where he was hired as the 7th employee and saw the company grow.   First, we were two founders, …joined by former colleagues from an agency. Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany   Martin became interested early in Blockchain and Bitcoin but was no miner – which he partly regrets now 😊. He felt like it was the right time to start his company after many years as a startup employee.   Security is key for crypto custody. Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany The StartupTangany (https://tangany.com/)  is the all-in-one cloud suite to easily offer crypto and digital asset custody to your clients and customers. They do not offer services for retail customers, but rather to fintechs and financial institutions for save keeping of digital and crypto assets (including, but not limited to cryptocurrencies). They are a regulated custodian. The product of Tangany is a white-label tool (via API) to enable their customers like startups, so they can offer crypto wallets to their (retail)-clients. The big advantage of Tangany for their clients is that they don’t need to get a license since the company is already regulated under German law to be a custodian.   It took us a very very long time to design our architecture … to the highest thinkable level of security. Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany   Excited about a Digital EuroTangany would be quite happy if a digital Euro, based on Blockchain is realized, this would be a huge opportunity for them. Since every citizen would need a digital wallet as Tangany could provide.   I am very convinced that a digital Euro will come, one way or another. Martin Kreitmair, CEO and Co-Founder Tangany  Venture Capital FundingTangany raised a venture capital round in January 2020 and currently, they are in preparation for another round.   Further Readings / Additional Resources  Custodian https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/custodian.asp   Feedback  Reach out to us, here is our audience survey, to give us feedback, suggest topics, interview partners or just to say “Hallo!” https://forms.gle/mLV6mVKwGwKuut8BA   The InterviewerThis interview was conducted by Jörn “Joe” Menninger, startup scout, founder and host of Startuprad.io.
