Bamboo makes investing simple, safe and part of your daily life. Bamboo automatically collects spare change from your everyday purchases (coffee, lunch, etc) and invests into assets based on your selected portfolio mix. We’ve built Bamboo with the goal of making it easier for people to get started with alternative investments (think precious metals, cryptocurrencies, art, even sneakers!). There are four assets currently supported on the platform: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum. New investors can choose from preset portfolios (e.g., 50/50 Bitcoin/Gold) or build a custom one, allocating as little as 1% of their investment to an asset. Pretty neat if you ask me. Investments take the form of top-ups (self-explanatory) or acorn-style round-ups (these come from collecting the spare change from your daily transactions). And we are currently in the process of building recurring investments and they will be arriving soon! Once you’re all set up, Bamboo will handle purchasing the assets in the proportions you’ve selected. We’re able to buy small fractions of each assets (even as little as a milligram of gold), making it a relatively low-risk way for people to be introduced to investing. Giving your money to a third party service requires a lot of trust, and we believe the best way to build trust is through being transparent. We have spent a lot of time adding features that provide our customers with more information about their investments. People LOVE knowing exactly what they have invested in so with every contribution comes a full receipt outlining: - The price each asset was purchased at - The amount of each asset we purchased for you - The flat transaction fee we took - No Spreads! Spread-less! What other cool things have we been up to, oh yes, this is a game changer. Proof of Solvency: We have spent the last year researching and implementing a protocol that enables our customers to trustlessly audit their funds. This means customers can independently verify that their funds are properly managed and accounted for, and that we are fully solvent. We believe that we are the first investment platform in the world to have this feature included.
