Strategy & Growth
Positioning, go-to-market and commercial development for financial and digital-asset businesses. From first thesis to signed clients.
INDEPENDENT ADVISORY
BUSINESS · TECHNOLOGY · REGULATION
I help finance and technology businesses get built, grow and get better.
With twenty years of experience across banking, digital assets and financial regulation in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Europe, CM Ventures works independently alongside a hand-picked network of lawyers, tax experts and engineers.
01
WHAT I DO
Most advisors cover one of three things: business, technology, or regulation. I work across all three: I see where a plan will break and I pull in the right experts before it does, so what gets built actually holds up and reaches the market.
Regulatory & Licensing Support
I accompany you through the licensing process and coordinate between your business, the regulator and the lawyers: structuring the case, preparing the documentation and keeping the process moving. Successful licensing depends on a well-structured case, credible documentation and disciplined coordination. The legal work stays with the licensed lawyers.
Business Consulting
Management consulting for banks, fintechs and digital-asset firms: operating model, processes, partnerships and market entry. The commercial and organisational side of the business, kept clear of the regulated activity itself.
AI & Automation
AI where it actually earns its place: optimisation, agents, processes and internal tools. In regulated environments with a human and an audit trail behind every output and in ordinary businesses that just want to work faster.
Product & Build
Turning the approved concept into something in production, with engineers who have shipped inside regulated institutions.
Board & Sparring
A direct second opinion for founders and boards. On the deal, the licence question, or the thing no one at the table wants to say first.
02
FULL SERVICE
One point of contact. A full bench behind it.
You bring the problem. I bring the people who solve it and I stay accountable for how the parts fit together. The network is focused on purpose: lawyers who argue in front of the FMA, tax advisors who know cross-border digital-asset treatment and engineers who have built inside licensed institutions. You deal with me. The coordination is my job.
COMPANY & FIDUCIARY
Fiduciaries
Company formation, domiciliation, bookkeeping and administration, with fiduciaries who set up the structure and keep it running.
LEGAL & REGULATORY
Licensed lawyers
Licensing, contracts and regulatory submissions with firms that practise in the relevant jurisdiction.
TAX & STRUCTURING
Tax advisors
Cross-border and digital-asset tax questions handled before they turn into problems.
ENGINEERING
Engineers
Design and delivery with people who have shipped software inside regulated environments.
03
HOW I WORK
01
Frame
I get specific about the decision in front of you and what a good outcome looks like.
02
Assess
A direct read on regulation, market and feasibility. What holds and what doesn't.
03
Assemble
I lead the work and do it and where a licensed lawyer, tax advisor or engineer is needed I bring them in and keep everyone aligned.
04
Deliver
You get something usable: a submission, a structure, a product, a plan you can act on.

FULL TRACK RECORD ON LINKEDIN →About Mauro Casellini
For more than twenty years I have worked where banking meets new technology, across Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Europe. I have held leading roles at financial institutions and advised internationally active banks, fintechs and digital-asset firms: building the business, launching products, standing up new ventures and getting the innovation and the regulation to line up. My experience runs across licensing processes, operations, advisory, optimisation and product management, from the first conversation with a regulator to a business that runs day to day.
My background pairs business with regulation: a degree in business administration, an Executive MBA in strategic management and an LL.M. in Banking and Financial Market Law. That mix is the point. I can hold the commercial case, the product and the regulatory reality in the same conversation.
I hold a board mandate at the CCA Trustless Technologies Association (the industry body for the blockchain and token economy in Liechtenstein) and lecture on blockchain. I combine my own judgement with a network I trust and I use AI tools openly to make the work faster and sharper. Clients know when a draft came off a model and when it came off twenty years of doing this.
