Elfin successfully completes first round of investment
Elfin is the largest platform in the Benelux for women about finance and successfully completed its first round of investment in November. With a group of committed angel investors, we managed to exceed the initial investment goal of €100,000 by 50%, accelerating elfin’s ambition into reality.
Last year, elfin proved that women actually want to learn about financial matters, such as investing and retirement. Within a year, elfin welcomed 5800 members and reached thousands of women through media channels. Women at elfin, along with other women, learn all about money and investing in a safe environment. Elfin offers these women a stick, a financial network and reliable information on financial topics.
A fintech solution for greater reach
With the capital raised, Puck Landewé and Lieke Danenberg are developing a fintech solution to scale faster and make more impact. Puck Landewé: “Our first validation is done: we see that women are interested in financial topics. We also now know under what circumstances and conditions women prefer to learn about money and investing. The development of a tech platform will help to help more women to actively manage their long-term finances faster.’
Lieke Danenberg: ‘We incorporate the ingredients that contribute to healthy financial behavior into the new elfin platform. We create the perfect conditions for women to start working on their finances. Elfin helps them get the right knowledge and links them to reliable advisors. The first version of the new elfin platform will go live in the first quarter of 2023’.
More money in the hands of women
elfin’s mission is to activate millions of women to get started with their long-term finances. ‘Even in 2022, women are losing out when it comes to money and assets. Less salary, less pension, less assets,’ says Landewé. ‘More women than men run into financial difficulties when life-changing events – such as divorce or the death of a partner – occur. Financial knowledge and – independence can prevent that. On the other hand, we also know that women, more than men, are willing to invest in sustainable projects and initiatives. Our mission to activate millions of women to build wealth has a huge effect on our society’.
