Target Partners commits to Finanzchef24’s series-B
Mercura Capital has joined existing investor Target Partners in a €4m series-B funding round for online financial services start-up Finanzchef24.
Finanzchef24 plans to use the fresh capital to further expand its marketing activities and invest in its recently established Finanzchef Pro broker service.
Last month, Target completed a €4m series-B investment alongside Swedish VC Zobito in portfolio company Treasury Intelligence Solutions. It first invested €2.5m in the payments software-as-a-service platform in May 2011.
Previous funding
Since its inception in early 2012, Finanzchef24 has been backed by investment company HW Capital. Target committed €2m to the company in January 2013 in a series-A funding round. Finanzchef24 said it planned to use the capital for building the website and software.

The portal carries out risk analysis based on a series of questions that the user answers. Product options from 17 German insurance providers are available on the portal, while 740 business types are represented among the company's customer base.
