Munich-based FinTech startup Scalable Capital has successfully completed a new funding round, raising €155 million to further develop their digital investment platform and new offerings.
This is the company’s largest funding round to date and is led by Sofina and Noteus Partners. Existing investors Balderton Capital, Tencent, and HV Capital also participated. Investors have now invested over €470 million in Scalable Capital.
“Noteus Partners and Sofina perfectly complement our global investor base. The recent funding round is a clear endorsement, and an important step on our path to becoming the leading retail investment platform in Europe,” says Erik Podzuweit, Founder and Co-CEO of Scalable Capital.
Founded in 2014 by Erik Podzuweit and Florian Prucker, Scalable Capital is a digital investment platform empowering “everyone to shape their financial future“. They employ more than 600 people at their offices in Munich, Berlin, Vienna, and London. According to the company, over €30 billion is held on the platform by more than one million customers.
“Low-cost, broadly diversified ETFs, free access to financial knowledge, stock exchanges tailored for retail investors, and technology driven investment platforms like Scalable Capital have fundamentally improved access to capital markets for millions of retail investors. To accelerate this development, we will continue to invest in our fully verticalised platform with the additional capital,” says Florian Prucker, Founder and Co-CEO of Scalable Capital.
They offer a variety of services including:
- Scalable Broker looks to make it easy and affordable for clients to invest professionally in stocks, ETFs and other exchange-traded products and set up savings plans.
- Scalable Wealth, the digital wealth management service, offers clients professional investment in ETF portfolios and is also adopted as a white-label solution by renowned B2B partners.
- With the European Investor Exchange Scalable Capital offers a stock exchange for retail investors in Europe.
“Through our investment platform and additional new products, we’ll be able to offer even more people in Europe the best options for their investments. We have a firm focus on wealth creation and saving for retirement for the whole family,” Podzuweit continues.
Since 2015, Scalable Capital has aimed to provide retail investors with access to simple and cost-effective investment options. Today, clients in Europe can invest in ETFs, stocks, funds, bonds, cryptocurrencies, derivatives, and Private Equity. Broker clients allegedly receive attractive interest rates on their cash from their partner banks and have access to low-cost securities backed loans against their portfolio.
“Noteus is proud to support Scalable Capital as it continues to democratise retail investing in Germany and across Europe. With its vertically integrated investment offering and highly engaged customer base, the company is well positioned for long-term success. We look forward to partnering with the team as they continue to scale and shape the future of investing,” says Zoé Fabian-Frey, General Partner at Noteus Partners.
At the end of last year, Scalable Capital launched the European Investor Exchange. This exchange is specifically tailored to the needs of retail investors in Europe.
Recently, the Scalable Broker has also begun offering private equity investments: through ELTIFs (European Long-Term Investment Fund), eligible clients can invest in this asset class on equal footing with institutional investors such as insurance companies or pension funds.
Starting this summer, Scalable will also be available for the next generation: with kids’ accounts, parents can use the Scalable Broker to invest in their children’s financial future.
“Scalable Capital is transforming how individuals approach investing across Europe. Their innovative platform, comprehensive offering and clear vision for financial inclusion resonate strongly with Sofina’s strategy of backing impactful high-growth companies. We are enthusiastic about supporting their journey to further redefine the retail investment landscape in Germany and beyond,” adds Maxence Tombeur, Managing Director at Sofina.
