Moonfare launches in the USA

In addition, the platform cracks the mark of 1.5 billion US dollars invested by customers via the platform.

The Berlin-based start-up Moonfare is expanding its activities to the USA. Moonfare offers individual investors and their advisors access to private equity investment opportunities that would otherwise not be readily available. As recently as November 2021, the company landed $125 million in a Series C round.

And there's another reason for Moonfare to be happy: the firm has attracted more than 2,200 clients, who collectively have already invested more than $1.5 billion through the platform. The company offers investments in funds from KKR, The Carlyle Group, IVP or Khosla Ventures, for example. In the U.S., customers will be able to make investments starting with a stake of $125,000.

"We are excited to expand our global footprint and proud to be among the few European fintechs expanding into the U.S.," said Steffen Pauls, founder of Moonfare and former KKR managing director. "As customer behavior continues to evolve toward direct digital solutions, we see great growth potential for the platform with its easy and digital access to private markets."

To date, Moonfare has offered 45 private market funds. It focuses on so-called private equity buyouts, U.S. tech funds and real estate categories. Moonfare is headquartered in Berlin and operates in 18 countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The firm has offices in New York, Hong Kong, London and Luxembourg. More are expected to open soon.
