Scheme Investments and Rivver share a vision for a more efficient and transparent Private Markets and by digitizing their next fund Scheme Investments are pioneering this change. With their Private Equity experience and extensive technical understanding of Blockchain technologies, Lambert and Alex bring a lot more than just capital to the table, so we look forward to a long term partnership.” — David Benizri, CEO of Rivver.

“We launched Scheme Investments with the ambition to contribute to the foundation layer of tomorrow’s economy, one project at a time. It is easier to start with what you know best so we were naturally drawn to Rivver for our first investment. David’s unwavering drive and Gabi’s deep know-how persuaded us to join them in their mission to ease the life of fund managers and foster liquidity in the private equity markets. We are convinced that they have the right vision to deliver a great product that we will naturally use for our second fund. In the meantime we will do everything in our power to help them succeed, as we intend to do for all our portfolio companies.” — Lambert Despaux, Partner at Scheme Investments.
