We are Silvr
Silvr is evolving
like those we support
Silvr was born from a frustration shared by all entrepreneurs: the complexity of business finance. Nima and Greg, entrepreneurs for 15 years, lived through this struggle. In 2020, they created Silvr to solve it.
First phase (2020-2024): We directly funded over €250M to 2000+ businesses.
This experience taught a crucial lesson: every business has unique needs, and short-term credit isn't the universal solution.
New phase (2025): Silvr becomes the intelligent orchestrator of SME funding.
By putting Silvr's technology, expertise and network of 50+ partners to work on one mission: Slivr ensures every business finds THE funding suited to their project, capabilities and ambitions.
The vision remains the same: giving entrepreneurs the means to achieve their projects. The method evolves by shifting from direct funding to intelligent matching, tripling clients' chances of success.
