From foundation to exit
Sub Capitals was founded in 2021 by Marius Siegert, Marc Schmid and Franz Liebermann - with the conviction that artificial intelligence can fundamentally change stock market trading. Over the past few years, the team has developed AI-supported models for investment management and risk management and worked with around 15 financial institutions in five countries.
But as is often the case in entrepreneurship: Innovation also means challenges. Longer sales cycles in the B2B sector and a difficult financing environment made it necessary to find a strong strategic partner.
Takeover by shareholders of Orca Capital AG
With the takeover by the shareholders of Orca Capital AG, Sub Capitals was not only able to withdraw its precautionary insolvency filing, but also lay the foundation for sustainable further development.
The goal: the expansion of AI technology, the continuation of business operations and close cooperation with selected reference customers.

SCE perspective
For us at SCE, it is particularly nice to see how Sub Capitals can now continue on its path with strong partners after an intensive and not always easy journey. We congratulate the team on this important milestone and look forward to seeing how their AI technology will develop in the future.
