Kasu, an Adelaide, Australia-based Real World Asset (RWA) business lending protocol that leverages proprietary tech to deliver the most risk-optimised RWA yields in DeFi, raised USD$3m in seed funding.
The round was led by Woodstock, Morningstar Ventures, and Faculty Group, with contributions from Cypher Capital, Matterblock, Andromeda Capital, NxGen, Rarestone Ventures, Asteroid Capital, and Optic Capital, and a number of KOLs, industry angels, and selected Web3 investment syndicates.
Kasu is an exclusive joint venture (JV) between Faculty Group and Apxium Technologies (Apxium).
The capital raised will be allocated towards advancing Kasu’s platform that redefines today’s RWA lending ‘standard’ through proprietary technology that optimises businesses’ cash flows to improve credit risk, ultimately delivering superior risk management and higher quality yields. Layered with automated debt recovery mechanisms and robust structured credit, Kasu aims to deliver the most optimised risk-adjusted private credit RWA yields in all of DeFi.
This is made possible via Apxium’s SaaS+FinTech innovation platform that delivers the most intelligent Receivables and Payables Financing solutions for leading accounting and law firms and their clients.
The technology has proven to reduce accounts receivable administration and debtor days by up to 50%, thereby significantly de-risking a business’ debtor position prior to advancing funds against outstanding invoices.
