Vitruvian joins Moonfare as shareholder and partner – invests $35 million in leading digital alternative asset management platform

Vitruvian Partners (“Vitruvian”) is partnering with German private equity (PE) platform
Moonfare, investing $35 million in the company’s unique business model. The partnership represents another important milestone for Berlin-based Moonfare after having just recently announced a $125 million series C financing round led by Insight Partners and consolidating its global footprint by launching operations in the US.

“We are excited for this partnership with Vitruvian Partners, a renowned brand name with an amazing track record of investing in businesses that promise high, sustainable growth. We regard this step as an affirmation of our unique business model, team and company performance.” said Steffen Pauls, founder and CEO of Moonfare.

”With current geopolitical changes and market uncertainties, Moonfare’s consistent growth and global expansion indicates a growing demand for the digital private market investing opportunities we offer.”

Thomas Studd, Partner at Vitruvian said: “Private equity investments are barely available to retail investors, despite significant take-up by sophisticated institutional investors around the world. Moonfare’s offering addresses that gap and its exceptional growth rates clearly show pent-up consumer demand. Vitruvian is delighted to be partnering with Steffen and the exceptional Moonfare team as they look to democratise access to this asset class.”

This development has been heightened by current inEation rates and stock market volatility. However retail access to private equity funds for individuals remains underserved.

Moonfare is meeting these market demands by offering retail investors access to select, top tier private market funds and venture capital funds that were previously only available for institutions. Cerulli Associates: European Alternative Investments 2022
