About Depowise

Built for a function the world depends on.

Depowise exists for one reason: to enable depositaries to deliver precise, efficient, and defensible oversight that strengthens investor protection and safeguards the integrity of the global fund ecosystem.

Our story

Built for a global industry.

Depowise was founded in 2021 with a single conviction: one of the most critical functions in global finance, depositary oversight, was still being run on manual processes and institutional knowledge locked in people rather than systems. From day one, the ambition was global.

Sven Peekmann and Mait Poska brought deep expertise in turning complex operational processes into highly usable technology. Artur Reiter brought decades of financial industry experience, most recently at Bloomberg, and a clear view of where the industry needed to go. Together they founded Depowise in Tallinn and built it for the world.

The trajectory

From first conviction to industry platform.

An idea, a prototype, a conviction.

A small team saw that one of the most critical functions in global finance was still being run on manual processes and fragmented data, and set out to build the platform it deserved.

What we believe

Our values

Built for depositaries

Technology shaped around real depositary duties, not generic assumptions. Every product decision, architecture choice, and roadmap item is driven by depositary needs, constraints, and operational realities.

We specialise, we do not generalise

Depowise focuses exclusively on depositaries. We are the technology experts in this space, and we invest deeply in the domain knowledge and platform depth that this focus demands.

Speed with discipline

We move quickly. Decisions are made close to the problem, improvements are delivered continuously, and feedback is acted on fast, while always respecting the stability required for mission-critical operations.

Engineered for reliability

Trust is earned through reliable technology, not promises. Depowise is built to run critical depositary operations in production environments, with security, stability, and predictability designed in from the start.

Customer focus, grounded in real operations

Product evolution is shaped by real usage and practical constraints. Automation and usability are designed to reduce friction and support sustainable adoption, not to impress on a demo.

We communicate clearly and honestly

Depowise communicates directly about what the platform does, how it works, and where its limits are. We build long-term partnerships on transparency and continuity, not short-term wins.
