They are wealthy enough to have money to invest, but in Germany, the normal threshold to enter the wealth management services of large banks is 2 million Euros, and they do not qualify yet.

Ginmon wants to be the online financial advisor for this clientele. Therefore, they became fully licensed as a wealth manager in 2017, by German financial services oversight body BaFin. They now have an investment volume of more than 100 mn Euros for approx. 5.000 clients, according to their website. According to Lars, they have approx. 15% of the share of wallet of their clients, which they aim to increase.

 

After our business model has been proven with a couple of hundred customers on our platform, we raised our first funding with Passion Capital from London, known for their investments e.g. in Monzo
