Speedinvest, Seedcamp and Credo backed the seed round, which will fund team expansion and regulatory approvals.
"The crypto industry as a whole is still in its infancy. We believe that by bringing crypto platforms into a single body under the Fiat Republic Consortium, we can increase our collective standing with regulators and enhance our leverage with big banks, who, until now, have dictated the terms of access to fiat based on harsh internal risk policies, often conceived mainly out of fear of the unknown. By creating an API that facilitates seamless data exchange between both traditional and crypto players, we believe we can foster transparency and better understanding between both sides, which in the future will benefit the whole."
The Series B round was led by Eight Roads with participation from existing investors including Union Square Ventures and Seedcamp.
"We started Juro in order to make legal contracts frictionless and accessible to everyone. Legacy processes using Word, PDFs and email slow things down not only for lawyers but for everyone who handles contracts. In the last 12 months our customers have processed more than 250,000 contracts in Juro, without leaving their browser. This has saved customers millions of hours of time and helped them to agree terms faster than ever. We are delighted to partner with Eight Roads as we scale up."

We always put a huge emphasis on focused partnerships who share our ambition and we found exactly that when we met the team at Molten."
