Moonfare operates a digital platform that enables qualified individual investors and their advisors to invest in curated private equity, venture and real asset funds with low minimums. The company offers more than 69 private market funds from general partners such as KKR, Carlyle, Permira and EQT, with an emphasis on buyouts, venture, growth and infrastructure. Moonfare increased assets under management by almost 60% to over $2.3 billion in the 12 months to end December 2022; the number of investors grew to 3,393 and registered users more than doubled to over 48,000. It expanded its fund lineup from 40 to 69, added Impact and Philanthropy asset classes, and launched in nine new jurisdictions including Scandinavia, Portugal, Israel and the US. The company has opened offices in Singapore, New York, Zürich and Paris and is headquartered in Berlin. Moonfare says it will offer new products, expand into new markets and strengthen its senior management team to meet its growth plans.

The platform provides end-to-end digital onboarding—registration, KYC, and document signing—in about 15 minutes and offers buyout and growth equity portfolios. Moonfare also operates the world’s first digital private equity secondary market, enabling secondary sales and purchases to bring liquidity to an illiquid asset class. To date, more than 2,200 investors have invested $1.5 billion in 45 private equity and growth funds through the platform. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Berlin, Moonfare operates in 18 countries across Europe and Asia and has offices in New York, Hong Kong, London, and Luxembourg.
