Wiwin aims to raise one million euros through crowdinvesting

The financing round is to be conducted via the company's own platform. The Mainz-based company wants to use the money to improve its IT infrastructure.

The Mainz-based start-up Wiwin will begin a financing round on February 15 via its own crowdinvesting site - the company's core business. With this, the platform for sustainable investments wants to collect one million euros. Private investors can participate from as little as 250 euros. The term is about five years, the interest rate is 6.5 percent per year. Wiwin also wants investors to participate in the operating result (before taxes). They receive an exit participation.

Wiwin wants to use the money to boost growth. Part of the capital raised will also go toward further technical development: Up to now, the company has purchased its IT solutions for the implementation of crowdinvestments from external service providers. Now a team is to build its own IT platform. As a result, the company would like to see itself less as a financial intermediary and more as a fintech in the future.

The start-up has set itself the goal of promoting sustainable investments, as founder Matthias Willenbacher explains: "A large part of the world's financial resources still flows into traditional investments that harm the climate, the environment and society. We want to change that by providing green impact companies and projects with the capital they need."

To date, more than 11,500 investors have invested a total of more than 116 million euros in sustainable projects and companies through Wiwin's platform. The company also has an offering for professional and institutional investors: exclusive capital investments in the form of private placements. And the Mainz-based company has also launched an equity fund that invests only in green companies.
