Our take
Many high-level investment opportunities are solely reserved for financial institutions. This means that for most private investors, top-tier equity funds are completely out of reach. Moonfare solves this problem by giving individuals access to institution-level investing.
Moonfare's platform allows investors to take part in funding rounds offered up by some of the biggest names in investing, including The Carlyle Group and Tiger Global. The company offers investment opportunities with investment minimums as low as €50,000, which is about 100x less than the traditional minimum - so while not everyone can afford to make investments through the company, a much larger pool of people have the ability to enter private markets.
Moonfare is headed up by an impressive team of KKR, BlackRock, Amazon and J.P. Morgan alums, which adds significant credibility to their product. The company has also raised significant investment, which will be used to fund new product development and market expansion.
