NordicNinja led the financing round alongside Lightspeed, Superangel, and several prominent angel investors.
"This Series B round is a huge vote of confidence in the untapped potential of investing in Europe and Lightyear’s ability to make the difference. Driving meaningful progress in this market means removing barriers to entry and demystifying investing for ordinary people. That’s why we feel so strongly about our vision for AI and the future of investing. Europe is still a society of savers with completely independent tax systems, different regulations and complicated infrastructure – it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution. We’re making huge leaps forward in our mission to enable 750 million Europeans to build meaningful wealth, so it’s an incredibly exciting time for the business right now."
The funding round was led by Anker Capital to support the platform's focus on modern fractional work.
"Imagine Warren Buffett coming into your office one day a week to tell you where you’re going wrong. Or Jony Ive giving you an hour’s feedback on your latest product rollout. With fractional engagements, companies can access some of the best minds on the planet without the associated costs. You can get incisive specialist input, be it a suggested strategic pivot or finding a problem in your financial modelling, that unlocks transformative value for your business. Fractional simply is the future model for work."
