Your Sparring Partner for Web3 Finance and Tax Challenges.
Kevin Leuthardt, Founding Partner
Kevin has been working in the Web3 industry since 2017 and regularly advises Web3 / crypto founders, organisations and investors on various financial, structuring and tax matters. Hereby, he leverages his multi-year experience in operating successful Web3 / crypto projects with regards to financial management, tax risk management, business operations and regulatory compliance as well as team token incentives. In addition to this, he disposes of a fond knowledge in establishing and operating Swiss Web3 / crypto foundations and enjoys acting as an active board member.
Kevin has curated over the years a Web3 / crypto-specific network of executives, investors, lawyers, accountants and other likeminded individuals. In particular, he is a proud contributor to the tax & accounting landscape by assuming the co-chair of the tax and accounting working group at the Crypto Valley Association.
In addition, Kevin can leverage a domestic and international network of service providers and (tax) lawyers with relevant project experience with established leading Web3 / crypto organisations available to serve our clients at threek.

What challenges do we like to resolve?
The launch and the operation of token-based protocols across their life cycles are exposed to a lot of challenges in the field of finance, accounting and legal matters. Founders and management teams might be often overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of their Web3 businesses they have to manage alongside their overall focus on reaching product-market-fit and securing the project’s runway.
The navigation of these challenges requires the involvement of external counsels and the coordination thereof. Many times, a proactive approach to these matters could help to anticipate and curb their operational burden drastically.
“Despite all the Sturm und Drang around crypto, there’s no denying it has been an important proof of concept for how web3 technologies work together. Web3’s promise is an improved version of the Internet, one that is more interoperable than today’s siloed web.”
