Over the last year the company has grown from 100 000 to over 400 000 users. The additional 29 million SEK will be used to develop more functions and to further expand to European markets outside of Scandinavia.
In the series A round that was carried out, both new and existing shareholders invested.
Among those that have previously invested are Harald Mix, Eva Cederbalk and Johan Qviberg. The company is now receiving additional contributions from big names such as Collector Ventures and Patrick Söderlund.

- We are proud and humble to have gained both capital and competent investors in Gimi. Children deserve to be able to learn about money and how it works. We view it as a human right. We are grateful to be able to make this journey together with investors that support us in this vision, says Philip Haglund, founder and MD of Gimi.
