This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. Declined by Timtrent 3 months ago. |  |

Lucas Vogelsang (born 1990) is a Swiss blockchain entrepreneur and software engineer, best known as an early advocate and pioneer in bringing real-world assets (RWAS) into decentralised finance (DeFi) as the co-founder and former CEO of Centrifuge, a DeFi protocol focused on bridging RWAS with blockchain-based financial infrastructure.[1][2]
Early Career
[edit]Before entering the blockchain space, Vogelsang co-founded DeinDeal, a Swiss e-commerce platform and Groupon competitor, which was acquired in 2011. He later worked at Taulia, a San Francisco-based supply chain finance company, where he focused on payment infrastructure. Taulia was later acquired by SAP in 2022[3][4].[5][6]
Centrifuge
[edit]In 2017, Vogelsang co-founded Centrifuge alongside Maex Ament and Martin Quensel, with the mission of "unlocking economic opportunity for all" by tokenizing real-world assets such as invoices, real estate, and revenue streams.[7] Through partnerships with protocols like MakerDAO and Aave, Centrifuge advanced the use of tokenized real-world assets as collateral in decentralized finance.[8][9]
Through Tinlake, Centrifuge's flagship product, Vogelsang helped create one of the first systems where businesses could finance invoices, real estate, and revenue streams directly through blockchain[10][11]
Vogelsang has been a featured speaker at major blockchain events including Devconnect, ETHGlobal, and Messari Mainnet.[12]
