Jarsy operates a marketplace providing retail investors access to invest in pre-IPO private companies, such as those in AI and aerospace. The platform utilizes a 1:1 equity-backed token system to represent ownership in these private assets. Investors can manage their portfolios and fund accounts using traditional fiat or cryptocurrency options with low minimum investment thresholds.

Problem
Access to pre-IPO and other private market investments is typically limited to high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors, excluding the majority of retail investors. High minimum investment amounts and complex processes further restrict participation in these potentially high-growth opportunities.
Solution
Jarsy is a blockchain-based investment platform that democratizes access to private market assets by tokenizing blue-chip assets and enabling fractional ownership. Users can invest in pre-IPO companies, U.S. stocks, and ETFs with investments starting as low as $10. The platform leverages blockchain technology to ensure transparency and security, with all transactions recorded on-chain. Jarsy partners with payment gateways to facilitate seamless currency conversion to USDC, which is then used to purchase asset-backed tokens. These tokens represent fractional ownership in underlying assets held in dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).
Target Audience
Jarsy targets retail investors, particularly younger individuals and those with limited capital, who seek access to high-growth private market investment opportunities previously unavailable to them.
