DGAP-News: FinLab AG / Key word(s): Investment – Finlab holding kapilendo AG launches joint venture in real estate investment – New crowdfunding platform in cooperation with Engel & Völkers Capital AG
Frankfurt / Main, 21 March 2017 – Berlin-based Fintech startup kapilendo AG, a holding of the listed company FinLab AG (ISIN DE0001218063, ticker: A7A.GR), is joining together with Engel & Völkers Capital AG in launching a joint crowdfunding platform called Engel & Völkers Capital. The platform will provide investors with access to exclusive real estate projects in which they can participate together with institutional investors. Kapilendo is one of Germany’s leading platforms for crowd lending and crowdfunding, and brings its extensive know-how and capacity for innovation as well as its technology and design to its partnership with Engel & Völkers, which for its part offers access to a wide range of properties, a global network and a strong brand. Engel & Völkers has funded similar real estate projects through special funds for institutional investors. With kapilendo serving as a partner to the new crowdfunding platform, investors will have access to projects that were previously too large for crowdfunding. “By pooling our expertise, we are striving to achieve market leadership in the field of real estate crowdfunding,” says Christopher Gratz, CEO and co-founder of kapilendo AG. Using the new platform, Engel & Völkers Capital, investors can acquaint themselves with individual projects and the persons behind them. They receive detailed information about each property, its location and the timeline. On the basis of this information, investors can then decide for themselves which project best fits their investment philosophy. Plus, they can use the platform’s private investor area to track the development of their investment portfolio. Engel & Völkers Capital AG works with independent analysis firms to review and monitor each real estate project listed on the platform. About kapilendo: Kapilendo is an innovative online loan marketplace that allows small and medium-sized enterprises to access financing cheaply, quickly and without a lot of red tape. Private investors can make their own decisions and take part in lending projects for as little as 100 euros. This fintech startup is based in Berlin and was founded in January 2015.
