Heliad invests in Berlin-based FinTech lemon.markets! 📣 
 
We are thrilled to announce our first investment alongside our recently joined angel syndicate Collective Ventures into lemon.markets – the pioneering security infrastructure FinTech, enabling cost-effective access to financial markets across Europe. 🚀
 
lemon.markets has secured a total of EUR 12 million in its seed expansion round, led by CommerzVentures with existing investors Creandum, Lakestar, Lightspeed and System.One participating. 💰

Expanding the traditional business model of venture capital. Heliad AG joins forces with Collective Ventures to build a new generation of venture capital firms and provide investors exclusive ways to invest in start ups.
 
Collective Ventures was founded 2021 as a deal-by-deal venture capital network bringing together smart money from a diversified group of entrepreneurs, financiers, C-Level executives and most importantly friends. Over the last years the investment firm has built a strong track record investing in 17 companies, including firms like Nelly Solutions, bunch, Flowers-Software GmbH, nuvo, NIRA and more. Leveraging on their co-investor network, Collective Ventures not only offers the opportunities to invest according to the co-investors’ personal preferences but also provides founders with invaluable sparring opportunities when building their business.
 
Heliad AG is a long-established listed growth investor with investments in firms such as flatexDEGIRO, Raisin, Enpal, CLARK, FINN and many more. The company has given individual investors the opportunity to invest in its portfolio by acquiring shares on the stock exchange and thus overcoming the traditional high entry barriers to invest into venture capital.
 
The merger of Heliad and Collective Ventures provides investors with exclusive and powerful ways to access venture capital through both, investing in Heliad's liquid stock as well as co-investing alongside Heliad and Collective Ventures into early stage opportunities directly and on a deal-by-deal basis.
 
This partnership is only the beginning of how we aim to expand the way how capital, investors and founders eventually work together.
