Investor found for fintech Acatus
Following its insolvency in July of this year, there could now be a fresh start for the company.
According to information from Finanz-Szene, an investor has been found for the insolvent fintech Acatus. The unnamed buyer presumably comes from Switzerland and is expected to pay around 750,000 euros to the insolvency estate. The money will apparently cover 30 percent of the claims against the start-up. The creditors are also due to vote on a new insolvency plan today.
In July of this year, co-founder Marie Louise Seelig left the start-up due to disputes between her and the investors. Shortly afterwards, Acatus filed for insolvency following a failed financing round. Even then, the insolvency administrator Gordon Geiser emphasized: "The aim of the proceedings is to find a sustainable investor solution for the start-up". Startbase reported.
The Berlin-based fintech Acatus was founded in 2016 by Daniel Wigbers and Marie Louise Seelig and specializes in the securitization of loans. In its Series A financing round in November 2019, the start-up raised 5.5 million euros, but later ran into problems.
