Inventure releases VC fund for private investors

According to a media report, from now on anyone can invest in a venture capital fund via the fintech from an amount of 2500 euros.

Investing in start-ups as a small private investor has so far mainly been possible via crowdinvesting. According to the magazine, the Berlin-based fintech Inventure is now offering another option. Finance Forward is now offering a further possibility. In future, investors will be able to invest in venture capital funds via the start-up's platform.

However, the money of private investors is then not directly in the corresponding fund. It is structured via a so-called token-based debt security, reports the magazine. Such a debt security is represented by a digital token, which is issued via a blockchain. The advantage of such a solution is a high degree of transparency as well as low transaction costs, but at the same time the tokens are often difficult to trade so far. Depending on how well the investment goes, shares flow back to the private investors.

The first fund will be Planet A, according to the magazine. Among other things, it is invested in Dance, which today announced the completion of a financing round. Private investors can apparently invest in the VC fund via Inventure for as little as 2500 euros. Other funds are expected to follow.
