The fintech only filed for insolvency in May, now it has been taken over, according to a media report. The insolvency proceedings are expected to be completed by the end of the month, and the employees can probably stay. Almost nothing is known about the buyer.

The fintech Fundflow helped other companies with short-term liquidity problems - then it got into trouble with its own liquidity. Now there is a new owner: Opposite Gründerszene founder Joachim Kaune stated that Fundflow is going to a fund and a private individual. Nothing is known about the sum. The ten employees will be taken over, the positions of Kaune as CEO and co-founder Antonio Faralli are probably not yet clear and must be negotiated.

In May of this year, Fundflow filed for insolvency, and in mid-August the proceedings were opened, Kaune told Gründerszene. The proceedings are expected to be completed by the end of the month, at which point Kaune will "see to what extent I can contribute to the new company."

In 2015, Jan-Philip Ramsperger, Faralli and Kaune founded the fintech. The former left the company a year later. Fundflow pays outstanding invoices in the event of short-term shortages of companies, so that they do not get into greater difficulties. In 2019, it still had success with this business model: 800,000 euros generated Fundflow then. But with the aid of the federal government for companies, the number of customers also collapsed. With the takeover, the number of customers has risen again to several hundred, according to Kaune, also because Fundflow's offering now provides expanded functions.
