What Konvi does

Konvi is a European investment platform that enables fractional ownership of luxury alternative assets through an auction-first model, serving retail investors seeking portfolio diversification outside traditional securities. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Dublin (Konvi Limited, with origins in Berlin), the company offers access to watches, jewellery, art, comics, luxury collectibles, and selected property opportunities starting from €250, spanning 10 asset classes and a user base of more than 60,000. The core platform runs on a proprietary mobile application (iOS and Android) and a web interface, and operates an "Auction Guarantee" mechanism in which investors back a minimum bid ahead of a real auction; if bidding exceeds the guarantee, investors share the upside, and if it does not, the group becomes fractional co-owners of the acquired asset. Investors participate in ongoing governance through collective voting on decisions such as sale timing and offer acceptance.

The business model is transaction- and management-fee driven. Starter-tier users pay 1% entry and withdrawal fees, while Investor-tier and above users pay no entry fees; platform management fees cover sourcing, structuring, custody, insurance, and administration of acquired assets. A seven-tier Konvi Investor Status programme links portfolio value to wallet cashback (0.15%-1% p.a.), fee waivers, gallery tickets, private auctions, and, at the Signature tier (€100,000+), dedicated investment management. The company monetizes retail and institutional segments primarily through self-serve digital channels — mobile apps, the live.konvi.app web platform, content marketing via Konvi Magazine, referral programmes, and PR — and has expanded geographically via acquisitions of French platforms Diversified and Fractible in April 2024. Konvi is registered on the Central Bank of Ireland Schedule 2 register (code C462206) for AML/CTF compliance and is co-founded by Eran Peer (CEO) and Ioana Surdu-Bob (COO).

Core offering

Konvi operates an auction-first investment platform that enables retail investors to participate in real auctions and acquire fractional ownership of luxury alternative assets such as watches, jewellery, art, comics, whisky, wine, and selected property opportunities, starting from €250. Investors either share the upside when auction bidding exceeds the platform's guarantee, or become fractional co-owners of the underlying asset if it is acquired. The full investment lifecycle — discovery, bidding, custody, insurance, voting, and exit — is delivered through iOS, Android, and web applications to over 60,000 users across Europe.
