Lena Roesch

I’m Lena, CEO & Co-Founder of Thane. I began building Thane earlier this year, following five years working in the crypto space, where I primarily focused on self-custody solutions.

Thane is on a mission to make DeFi investing accessible for everyone. Think of us as the "Robinhood meets eToro" of DeFi—we streamline the most popular chains and dApps into an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, making self-custody and cross-chain trading frictionless. Plus, our social features transform DeFi into a community-driven experience, allowing users to explore and invest together.

Since launching the beta of our Telegram mini app (https://t.me/thaneofficialbot) in early September, we’ve received over 1,000 requests for access and have onboarded 95 users into the closed beta so far. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with users "loving the interface”. As we work towards our vision of becoming a Neobank built on decentralized finance, we draw from our experience in both CeFi and DeFi. Having lived the challenges of DeFi firsthand, we are committed to overcoming them.
