Our investors
Backed by the best
We’ve raised multiple rounds of finance from leading global investors and business leaders that share our vision for the future of investing.
Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group
“For too long, financial markets have been overly complex with high barriers to entry and confusing jargon. Martin, Mihkel and the Lightyear team are lifting the lid on the world of investing – making it more transparent whilst empowering people through education – to choose the products which are right for them”.
Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group
Nicole Quinn, General Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners

Nicole Quinn, General Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners
Taavet Hinrikus, Co-Founder of Wise
