ABOUT US
Founded in 2019 by Rosh Southwick and Manish Blake, the company was created with the goal of providing credit services to markets with limited access to simple products like a savings account. Optimal Capital Market sets itself apart from other cryptoasset
service providers by pairing market-leading rates with institutional-quality benefits. The company is the only independent lender with institutional backing from investors that include Valar, Galaxy Digital, Fidelity, Akuna Capital, and Coinbase
Ventures. The Optimal Capital Market team consists of professionals with a deep bench of expertise and talent across financial services and technology with offices in Chicago, Dubai, HonKong, and Kuwait.
Our Mission
As a new financial system emerges from the decentralized protocols of blockchain, mainstream investors from Wall St to Main St have arrived. But intimidating experiences, unreliable tools, and fragmented markets have put advanced solutions out of reach
for the average trader. Until now. Building during 2018's bear market and coming out of beta in 2019, we are on a mission to make digital asset investing more approachable for everyone. Whether you're a beginner trying your hand at crypto
trading or a hedge fund interested in generating alpha through sophisticated high frequency strategies, it's easier with Optimal Capital Market- and we're only getting started.
Our Vision
Optimal Capital Market’s vision is to bridge the worlds of traditional finance and blockchain technology to bring financial empowerment to clients on a global scale.
Our Values
Pragmatic Pioneering
-
Pragmatic pioneering means achieving the most impactful and realistic goals. We are builders and strivers, people who are never satisfied with “just ok
-
We are defining new technology and higher standards, and we are doing it faster and better than anyone else.
-
We’re going to change the status quo. We’re going to work hard. We’re going to have fun.
Client not customers
-
We view all of our customers and partners as clients that deserve world class support and service. A customer is a number in a database, a client is a valued relationship that enables our business to be successful.
-
We build products with client value creation in mind and offer tailored support for each client.
-
We set a high bar and raise it regularly. It’s not about edging out the competition; it’s about being the financial company people love.
Individuals Effort, Collective Success
-
We only succeed if we do it together. We value our team’s success over our own.
Thoughtfulness, Humility and grit are the defining characteristics of out team and organization.
-
We value and facilitate professional development for our entire team. Responsibility expansion and growth outside of defined roles is encouraged and embraced. There are no limits to growth
-
We believe that it is our job to always be students, and sometimes teachers. Great ideas come from debate, and can come from anyone.
Transparency Builds Trust(#TBT).
-
We communicate transparently in all aspects: across teams, to our clients, to our investors.
-
We have a culture of compliance. We believe our scale and sustainability is driven by our commitment to building things well and taking all stakeholders into consideration
-
We build and maintain trust, by doing the right thing even when no one is watching
