Finsu, a rising star in the sustainable shopping sphere, has recently transferred ownership of its online aggregation business to a venture under the leadership of the renowned tech entrepreneur Dr. Sven Lachhein.
With a history of founding and steering multiple tech enterprises and securing substantial venture capital funding, Dr. Lachhein’s acquisition signifies a strategic step to accelerate the growth of Finsu’s novel approach to sustainable ecommerce. This move significantly enhances the scope of Dr. Lachhein’s venture studio in Berlin.
Established in 2021 by Frederik Muelke and Dr. Julius Simon, and later joined by Ric Rodriguez as the third co-founder, Finsu has made notable advancements in linking consumers with top sustainable brands online through its bespoke technology.
Frederik Muelke, the CEO, stated, “I am immensely proud of what the team have achieved in such a short time. Finsu’s strong traction to date shows the enormous promise in removing access barriers to verifiably eco-conscious brands, and Sven and his team are well positioned to help accelerate Finsu’s positive impact by bringing the vision to an even broader audience. Seeing their level of confidence in what we have built has been tremendously rewarding.”
Demonstrating promising early success, Finsu has forged numerous partnerships with leading sustainable brands, witnessed a steep rise in sales and user growth, and secured two rounds of financing from seasoned investors.
Dr. Sven Lachhein shared his enthusiasm, “We are very excited to guide Finsu through its next chapter. The founding team have laid a powerful foundation, and we have high conviction in the potential of their tech, market fit and established networks. We will work hard to deliver positive impact at scale, accelerating the existing growth in a meaningful way.”
In the wake of this acquisition, the founders will remain integral to the new venture as strategic advisors. Dr. Lachhein remarked, “I think their deep expertise in the space and experience as effective operators will be important as we navigate this exciting new growth phase for Finsu.” With the endorsement of Finsu shareholders and legal backing from Markus Presch, the transaction has been successfully completed.
