Moonfare

Moonfare is a digital platform for private market investing, giving a broader investor base access to institutional-quality private equity and alternatives through highly curated fund selection. The company works at the intersection of finance and technology, with technical domains spanning fintech platform development, digital investment platform technology and financial technology. It is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and maintains multiple international locations.

Engineers and technologists at Moonfare build for three product lines. Direct fund investments offer curated access to private equity and related alternatives from established and emerging managers, selected as trusted to outperform benchmarks. Portfolio-style investments provide diversified exposure to private markets. A secondary market concept allows eligible investors to buy or sell allocations before maturity, subject to eligibility conditions - a feature that adds trading, liquidity and compliance requirements to the platform.

Selection is central to the business. Thousands of funds are reviewed for the platform, and only a smaller portion of those reviewed are placed on it. The company operates across private equity, private markets, alternative investments and wealth management, and describes its positioning as going beyond the obvious in private markets. Its stated priorities include investor experience, compliance with the regulatory standards of its markets, and making institutional-quality investing accessible to a wider set of investors.
