## About

Based in Berlin, Germany, and founded in 2016 by its CEO, Dr. Steffen Pauls, and co-founder, Alexander Argyros, Moonfare GmbH develops a digital platform that helps individuals invest in private equity funds. In February 2023, Moonfare GmbH raised USD 15 million in series C funding from Insight Partners and 7GC. As of November 2021, the company has 1,800 clients who have invested more than €1 billion. It operates in 13 countries across Europe and Asia and has offices in Berlin, Hong Kong, London, and Luxembourg. 

The Moonfare GmbH platform offers two ways to invest in private equity, alternative assets, venture capital, and ETFs through Moonfare direct and Moonfare buyout portfolios. Moonfare direct aggregates individual demand through its Luxembourg-based feeder fund structure, which invests directly in the underlying target fund. And Moonfare's buyout portfolio aggregates individual investments through its Moonfare buyout portfolio, which targets investing in 8 to 10 underlying buyout funds. And the platform also provides a digital secondary market for private equity.

Moonfare GmbH will use the series C funding to continue to develop innovative investment solutions and accelerate its international expansion.
