"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."

"Parcel delivery should feel seamless, not stressful, but most of the industry is still running on systems that were never designed for ecommerce. At HIVED, we’ve taken a fresh approach – rethinking everything from first principles, putting technology and experience at the centre, and proving there’s a better way to do this at scale. This raise is a huge step forward in making great delivery the norm, not the exception."

"This pivotal moment is only possible because of the support of our investors, the guidance from our regulators and the commitment of our people. A big thank you to all our existing investors and a warm welcome to all our new investors. We look forward to working with all our investors in this exciting new chapter for Griffin"
