Crypto Stories: How an entrepreneur raised $10M for her startup during a bear market

Josipa Majic explains what she and her partners did to build a crypto company at a time when investors were fleeing the space.

In the midst of the 2018 crypto price slump, a young entrepreneur invested all her funds and personal money into a prototype that combined fintech and crypto services to offer virtual debit cards and crypto payment services for subscriptions. But because it was a bear market, no one wanted to invest the capital to put the solution on the market.

In the latest episode of Cointelegraphโ€™s โ€œCrypto Storiesโ€ series, Josipa Majic explains how she and her partners built a crypto company during a bear market at a time when investors were fleeing the crypto space.

โ€œEveryone said no the moment they heard about our crypto roadmap. They said, our LPs [limited partners] โ€” so, their investors โ€” do not understand crypto. […] It was a really discouraging moment because it just felt like everything was against us. And at that point, May of 2021 approached, and we had little to no cash.โ€

The company, Revuto, eventually raised $10 million and had 3 million customers on its waiting list before launch.

โ€œWorking on a crypto startup is so much more faster, exciting and also stressful than working on a normal startup. Itโ€™s literally an order of magnitude in terms of the change.โ€
