  Tobias Pfütze studied Business Administration in Germany and East Asian Studies with a focus on business administration in China. Soon after he graduated, he started his first FinTech company in the field of mobile payments. Tobias’s capacity to lead and influence positively the people around him lead him to be a delegate at the 2016/2017 G20 Young Entrepreneurs Alliance and to invited as a mentor China Accelerator. Tobias is the founder of LiqEase, a digital platform that provides access to finance for millions of under-served SME’s facing a liquidity gap of $40 trillion globally. The digital platform solves the need for alternative means of financing by closing such credit gap through digitizing invoices using modern blockchain technology. We thus make those SME, blue-chip backed, assets investible in the form of a token. LiqEase, therefore, creates a new high-yield, asset class in a historically low global interest rate environment.
