Access to funding is still one of the greatest barriers facing entrepreneurs in the modern market. DigiFunds Founder Anil Valbh has seen this problem firsthand while working in the real estate sector, where barriers to venture capital hindered businesses’ ability to scale and realize their potential time and time again.
It was in light of this market issue that Anil decided to found DigiFunds. With his experience in real estate and his first-hand knowledge and expertise of digital assets, Anil wanted to build a platform that not only provided an alternative to traditional funding models, but that would also change venture capital into a more secure, transparent, and democratic industry for all.
DigiFunds is a digital asset funding platform designed to help businesses find a new way to raise capital and unlock their true business potential. Founded on the core principles of transparency and democracy, DigiFunds is paving the way for a better future for the venture market, harnessing blockchain technology to bring safer and more secure investment to companies and investors alike.
Accessing funding as a business
Fundraising for business projects has traditionally been done via bank loans or with the support of private venture capital firms and investors. However, these traditional vehicles come with complex legal requirements, high target ROIs – all while having an upper funding limit. Smaller businesses are often overlooked by these funds, leaving them without the resources they need to scale and grow.
DigiFunds Founder, Anil Valbh has worked in real estate for almost 40 years, and has seen this play out many times for companies. High-potential businesses would hit a point when the funding they needed outweighed what was available. With hedge funds and private equity specifically, there would often be an upper limit of funding which hindered these companies and ultimately made the projects unviable because they simply didn’t have the volume of funds they needed.
For businesses looking to grow rapidly, Anil knew that a secure, efficient, and scalable solution to funding was needed.
A digital market: the next venture economy
While doing his MBA in 2008, Anil first began to explore the world of digital currency, just as it was emerging on the market. The technology was still very much in its nascent stages and it was a big risk to invest. Anil pursued a few investment opportunities and began to educate himself on the intricacies of digital funding and how digital markets operate.
He then started to consider how digital finance could be more extensively integrated into the financing world, with the potential to become a hugely valuable global solution for investors and companies alike.
With his hands-on experience as an investor dealing in the real estate market, the positive impacts that a digital solution could have were clear. With blockchain technology, digital assets are also a more secure and transparent fundraising model, built on web3 and the foundations of shared ownership and decentralization. Digital financing is an efficient and effective means of raising and managing capital on a global scale.
And so, Anil began to build the idea of DigiFunds, a digital crowdfunding platform that operates like an open exchange for investors, bringing greater transparency to fundraising and unlocking new possibilities for companies looking to raise capital.
“There is a need for a global solution to integrate into the finance world while staying within compliance oversight. Blockchain provides a decentralized system to raise and manage data in the most secure and efficient way.”

Building DigiFunds: the next digital economy
DigiFunds is a unique idea born from Anil’s personal experience of investment and business, his knowledge of the blockchain model, and the realization that it has the potential to revolutionize investment with a secure, decentralized, and fair fundraising method.
Having experienced the nascent stages of blockchain and digital assets, Anil knew how to create a platform that would serve the needs of investors and companies, place transparency at its center, meet the concerns of potential investors, and ensure compliance with legal regulations and oversight requirements.
DigiFunds is a unique investment model for capital funding, built on secure blockchain technology to provide a more open investment system for individuals and companies alike. With DigiFunds, companies raise capital through digital assets, which are backed by real investments, providing fair and accurate market coordination and real-time settlement. The platform enables investors and companies alike to hold all documents securely online, manage their assets directly, and track funding progress.
Blockchain technology also enables decentralized asset management, meaning that investments are more secure and transparent than other funding models. The web3 structure of shared ownership and DigiFund’s open-source market model also means that companies can reach greater profitability by opening up their venture to a wider cohort of investors from all walks of life.
Through this model, DigiFunds enables companies to raise an initial investment, or ICO (Initial Coin Offering), in the global digital coin market and create an exchange for investing and raising future capital to further fund their business. The platform is secure, transparent, and as accessible as the stock exchange, which is hugely beneficial to investors. DigiFunds is also fully compliant with legal regulations, allowing investors to feel secure with their assets.
“Nothing like DigiFunds has yet been created. DigiFunds has a unique financial capacity, matched with security and compliance. We are solving the financial challenges faced by companies and investors by providing a digital asset market, specifically to raise capital for businesses under legal guidelines.”

Breaking the financial barriers of venture capital
With a platform such as DigiFunds, the opportunities for both investors and businesses looking to raise funds are incredible.
For businesses, DigiFunds is providing an alternative means of raising essential capital without the limitations of traditional vehicles – instead offering a secure, transparent, and efficient funding model. Companies of any size and from any industry can access the capital they need to be successful.
For investors, the platform is a refreshing change to the sometimes obscure digital investment platforms currently available. As an open market, transparency is at the heart of DigiFunds, and individuals can invest knowing that their assets are secure and protected.
Anil has seen how a lack of transparency has caused a certain degree of anxiety and mistrust around digital assets in the public. DigiFunds is offering a new solution, not only to traditional fundraising methods, but to the digital platforms that currently exist. It is a step in the right direction to building a more democratic and secure investment system that protects investors, companies, and the economy – supporting early-stage businesses and empowering individuals to become venture investors and support a burgeoning market.
