The process was overseen by a Board composed of directors with substantial operating experience, microfinancial acumen, and blockchain development expertise. Having reviewed a full range of opportunities from small collaborations to transformational combinations, we identified Knightsbridge as by far the most compelling opportunity for Finance Blocks and its shareholders, given its strategic fit. The timing of the transaction was also favorable both in the near-term, as we were able to secure immediate funding for hypergrowth, and for the long term, as Finance Blocks will be strengthened and diversified in an increasingly competitive environment.
