Today FundedByMe announces the Board's decision to transform the Feminvest network into an independent company. The company will be operated by Michaela Berglund who will also become a shareholder in the new company.

Feminvest is one of the largest networks for female investors in the Nordic region and reaches over 20,000 women, who are actively investing or want to learn more about investing. The new business has the ambition to become a valuable tool for female ownership as well as increase equality in business and in the financial sector. In 2019, the business has become increasingly independent and the overall assessment is that the business will be able to expand further under its own management. The network has expanded organically and its impact has increased significantly.

“Every day I meet ambitious and curious women who want to see their capital grow through their private investments and the time they invest in their companies. I know that the relationships, knowledge and good examples that Feminvest offers today help more women think more about their ownership, ”says Feminvest's new CEO, Michaela Berglund.

“Feminvest has evolved a lot since we took it over and especially under the leadership of Michaela Berglund.
Since day one we have had the ambition to run it as a separate company and we are now looking forward to the opportunities that open when it can stand on its own legs and grow into the PowerHouse it has the potential to become. We have already seen the impact of the network and in the ongoing struggle for the democratization of the financial world, Feminvest has a very important role to play.” says Daniel Daboczy Group CEO, FundedByMe

FundedByMe acquired the Feminvest network in 2018 in connection with the acquisition of Laika Consulting, which was formally executed on August 2, 2018. Feminvest will operate independently while maintaining an important business relationship with Laika Consulting and FundedByMe. Since its inception, FundedByMe has been active in creating a more inclusive, democratic and equal investment climate. Historical statistics show that 26% of the platform's investments have been made by women, a figure that is significantly higher than the industry standard.
