Jakob Kronbichler
Co-Founder at Clearpool Finance.
Jakob Kronbichler is Co-Founder, CEO at Clearpool Finance, the startup guy on the founding team. After a short stint in the finance sector, I joined German internet incubator Rocket Internet and helped them scale two of their marketplace ventures; Foodpanda and Jumia saw rapid growth and went from inception to IPO in a few years. I then followed my passion for fintech and joined Aspire, a business neobank and alternative lending player in Southeast Asia. Being involved in crypto for a few years personally, the rise of DeFi with platforms like Compound led to my click moment when I realized this massive opportunity of building an alternative financial system. I realized I wanted to get into crypto and DeFi full-time.
