We understand the automotive, asset financing, and mobility lifecycle. With that understanding, and blockchain experience dating back to 2013/2014, we convinced Daimler Mobility to create the Daimler Mobility Blockchain Factory which we founded and led until we spun out bloXmove. The assignment of the blockchain software licence was due to a combination of things: 1 Daimler is in a deep process of transformation and needs to focus on its core business: premium e-mobility. 2 Ecosystems are very hard to develop by any player with a major brand. Often other brands will refuse to join such a platform. We needed a neutral venture to bring the platform to market. 3 Tech, and especially blockchain technology, has very different investment and development cycles from corporations such as Daimler or Daimler Mobility. These factors made both sides realize that a management-buyout, and then a spin-off, were the best way to bring what was incubated by Daimler Mobility for three years to market—and to success.
