Prosper, a wealth-tech pioneer, is launching a crowdfunding round in partnership with Crowdcube, giving customers the opportunity to join in its mission of changing the way wealth works.
The round has received backing from some of the most recognised founders, investors and operators in fintech, including Tom Blomfield, founder of Monzo; Matt Cooper, co-founder of Capital One; Phil Bungey, former COO of robo advisor Nutmeg; and the founders of WorldFirst, Embark, Azimo, and Tandem Bank.
Since opening for founding members just a few months ago, Prosper has grown quickly, offering SIPP, ISA and general investment accounts.
The company has outlined three customer champion pillars. Firstly, it will offer some of the highest cash interest rates in the market, keeping customers up to date with rate changes. Secondly, it has already gone live with zero-cost index funds from major asset managers such as Vanguard, Blackrock and Fidelity. Lastly, it will open up access to private market investments, initially for sophisticated, high-net-worth individuals, with the potential to outperform public market alternatives.
Nick Perrett, CEO of Prosper, said: “It’s time that the people who help you with your money are motivated to keep more in your pocket, not theirs. We aim to disrupt this industry and give those benefits back to our members.”
The crowdfunding round has a low threshold of £118 to £500,000 for supporters to invest.
Crowdfunding risk warning: Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 mins to learn more.
