Furthermore, the portfolio optimization technology will be made available to banks for the first time this summer. As a result, portfolio management will be completely redefined, margins will increase due to cost efficiencies and significantly greater personalization will be possible."

Founding investor and board member Michael Hartweg explains: "It took just a few days to fill the financing book. The great demand from investors is very pleasing for us and is a great incentive for us, as well as representing a vote of confidence in our technology, the business model and our employees."
