We aim to maintain our strong growth momentum, and therefore plan to invest heavily into our team and technology. We are extremely thankful for the strong commitment shown by our current investors and to welcome new international investors to FinCompare. There was strong demand from investors to participate in the round, which was ultimately oversubscribed", says Stephan Heller, Founder and CEO of FinCompare.
