VP Engineering

Private equity has always been a sought-after asset class due to its performance potential.

However, steep entry barriers, including high minimum investments ( €10m), hefty paperwork and the challenge of selecting the right fund have traditionally kept individual investors at bay, with access largely limited to big institutions or a select few.

Enter Moonfare.

We've made investing in private equity more accessible and straightforward with our fully digital investment platform. Now, qualified investors can access some of the most sought-after private market funds at minimums starting from €10,000 .

The diverse Moonfare team - which includes alumni from top private banks, groundbreaking startups and beyond - is united in pushing boundaries and redefining the private equity landscape.
