1m funding round for fintech Vickii

Vickii has successfully raised €1 million in its first round of funding. The company has developed a platform that aims to strengthen the financial literacy of Generation Z.

Münster, Germany - Vickii, the first fintech startup for Gen-Z, has successfully closed its first funding round and raised €1 million. The platform offers over 3,500 stocks and ETFs and aims to promote financial literacy and independence among the younger generation.

Generation Z harbors a desire for financial freedom, but many of them impulsively invest in stocks without having sufficient knowledge. The platform aims to provide young people with an easy-to-understand approach to the stock market. The team behind Vickii aims to make a lasting change in investment behavior, especially in Gen-Z, and fill a gap in the financial sector.

Especially in such dynamic times, we feel called to create equal opportunity and an easy path to financial freedom for all. We enable the younger generation to invest in their own future in a decisive and successful way.

Lukas Söllner, Co-Founder of Vickii

Traditional financial platforms are often complicated and intimidating for beginners. Vickii, on the other hand, takes a new approach based on data-driven trading information and an interactive user interface. The goal is to provide not only educational information, but also a fun and engaging experience.

One of the challenges many young investors face is a lack of basic financial knowledge. At Vickii, the focus is on providing in-depth background knowledge, including information on the mechanics of stock trading and long-term strategic directions. The main effort is to present financial data for stocks and ETFs in a detailed and understandable way. The app allows users to learn in-depth financial knowledge in a fun and interactive way to make better-informed investment decisions.

Deliberate naming

Vickii aims to encourage the younger generation to take control of their finances and not invest blindly. By combining data-driven knowledge with the user habits of Gen-Z, Vickii is paving the way for a new generation of investors. The name Vickii was deliberately chosen to differentiate from traditional fintech names and reflect the company's dynamism and youth. The startup was founded by Lukas Söllner, Alexander Brils, Maurice Moosmann and Jai Bheeman in Münster, Germany.

With the successful funding round, Vickii now plans to continue its development and expansion to further contribute to the financial education of Generation Z. Nothing was disclosed about the investors in the financing round.
