Techemy Ltd

What Techemy Ltd does

Techemy Ltd is a privately-held New Zealand holding company, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Auckland, that invests in, owns, and develops operating companies spanning the full blockchain value chain across TradFi, CeFi, and DeFi markets. Its portfolio includes Techemy Capital, which conducts wholesale digital-asset market making, hedging, derivative and OTC trading, and treasury management for accredited counterparties; Brave New Coin (BNC), founded in 2014, which provides cryptocurrency market data, indices, high-frequency price feeds, and research distributed to exchanges, brokers, and asset managers including Nasdaq, Refinitiv, Dow Jones Factiva, Barchart, TradeSmith, Amazon Alexa, and RapidAPI; Techemynt, issuer of the NZDS stablecoin backed 1:1 by the New Zealand Dollar; Ocrology, a Neural Network-based OCR and document-digitization SDK; Integrated Identity, a blockchain-based identity and self-sovereignty platform; and Blockchain Labs, which builds custom blockchain applications and smart contracts. The group's stated thesis is that vertical integration across these layers produces informational and executional advantages unavailable to single-point competitors.

The business model is diversified across multiple revenue mechanics: transaction fees from proprietary and OTC trading at Techemy Capital; recurring subscription and licensing fees from BNC's data and index products; transaction-based fees from NZDS stablecoin issuance and payments; SDK licensing from Ocrology; and professional services revenue from Blockchain Labs development engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and all client engagements are structured for accredited investors, wholesale counterparties, and enterprise customers. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with channel and marketplace relationships (RapidAPI, financial data vendors), and the customer base is concentrated in financial services and technology platforms globally.

The company is led by co-founders Fran Strajnar (CEO) and Lawrie Dipple (Senior Programmer Analyst), with co-founder James McNickel as CTO, Matt Paget as COO and Head of Investments, and a senior team spanning legal, business development, and product experience. No external institutional investors, parent companies, or funding rounds are disclosed, and ownership appears concentrated among the founding team. The firm has 11-50 employees and reports active operations across all portfolio subsidiaries.
