About Us

Layer Finance aims to digitally disrupt the private markets sector using Artificial Intelligence. We are building a platform that streamlines deal sourcing and closing for professional market participants. Our unique proposition integrates three pillars: Deal Brokerage, SaaS solutions, and Outsourcing Services, all aimed at connecting investors with high-quality off-market opportunities. Our Artificial Intelligence solutions boost process efficiency and enable deal teams and professional investors to make better decisions.

We are currently focusing on real estate investments, including both the financing of development projects with debt or equity solutions, and the placement of existing assets in the secondary market. Additional asset classes, such as company transactions, like strategic financing or company exits, will be added to our platform in the near future. Our unfair advantage is that we have an in-house team of senior business experts with many years of experience in private markets deal sourcing and closing.
