01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Brassica Technologies Inc., founded in 2020 in Houston, Texas by Lee (after his first fintech NextSeed was acquired by Republic), was a fintech infrastructure company building API-enabled custody, transfer-agent and trust services for alternative assets. Its Wyoming-chartered trust company and Web 2.5 investment infrastructure API let enterprises compliantly embed investing in private securities and digital assets. The company raised an 8 million dollar seed round and was acquired by digital asset custodian BitGo.
