The founders
Founders Johannes Laub and Jamal El Mallouki have known each other since childhood. They were convinced that decentralised forms of financing are an alternative to bank loans: a civic and at the same time entrepreneurial investment of money. The two friends bundle their knowledge they have gained in different entrepreneurial pursuits into a software solution. In 2015, the pivot follows and with it the launch of CrowdDesk. The goal: to provide companies with easy access to the private capital market. In 2021, CrowdDesk becomes portagon and by now portagon counts more than 280 customers – yet our story is just about to begin.
