Dear partners, investors and friends of Semper,

We are happy to announce a significant milestone in Semper’s journey - we have been acquired by Crowdcube, the European leader in private market investing.

Secondary transactions are rapidly becoming a ubiquitous part of the private markets. Since starting two years ago, we have witnessed a fundamental shift in the industry, with growing awareness surrounding secondaries by all stakeholders - in part accelerated by the valuation reset currently underway.

For Semper, joining Crowdcube is not just a strategic move, but a natural evolution. Crowdcube has been at the forefront of pioneering a new approach to investing in tech companies, leveraging the strength of their communities. They understand what it takes to build a new standard, and immediately bought into our vision for a new convention around equity: one in which every mature private company will provide regular liquidity to its employees and early shareholders, further enhancing the strength and dynamism of the private market ecosystem.

We will be integrating our technology, regulatory expertise, and team into Crowdcube. Together, we will be able to serve the iconic companies of today and tomorrow from their inception to their IPO, enabling them to raise capital from both their communities and the most sophisticated institutional investors in the world.

We are proud to be Crowdcube's first-ever acquisition and are eager to contribute to building the defining brand for European private markets investing alongside them.

Thank you all for your support and trust in us,
Balthazar, Mathias & the Semper team
