Venga is a Web3 startup created in 2023, based in Barcelona, and bringing crypto in the hands of everyone who wants to discover it, in the most convenient and enjoyable way. With a trust-focused and local-first approach, the mission is to make digital assets easy to understand, access, and invest in, inside a versatile and intuitive mobile app, with words people truly understand. This is why Venga, strong of its roots, is the first crypto investing platform to offer its services natively in Catalan (alongside other major languages) and has secured its MiCA license from Spain’s CMNV. The Venga app was launched in 2024, allowing users to seamlessly buy, sell, swap, and earn cryptocurrencies, with still a massive roadmap of products, services, and features, to be added and take investment opportunities to the next level. At the same time, Venga aims to tackle some of the well-known industry roadblocks to onboarding the next 500 million users to crypto, striving to have the best user experience, the most powerful technology, the strongest security, and, ultimately, the most robust platform. The team is formed of professionals with solid experience working in the crypto space at other well-established actors such as Binance, Nebeus, Dapper Labs, Young Platform, and others, all believers that the future of finance will highly benefit from blockchain technologies. Let’s make crypto more accessible. Ready, Set, Venga!
