The German financial media company finanzen.net Group, which also operates the neo-broker finanzen.net ZERO, has acquired AI-driven investment platform Vickii. Founded in 2022 as a student project in Münster by 20-year-olds Jai Bheeman, Lukas Söllner, and Alexander Brils, Vickii aims to make investing intuitive, personalised, and accessible for a digital generation, with AI at the core of its platform, according to Startup Rise EU. Alexander Brils “We never doubted our vision. This acquisition shows that we were right,” said Alexander Brils, CPO of Vickii. “A (neo)broker had long been the logical exit route. That the right opportunity has emerged now was not something we could have predicted. With finanzen.net ZERO, we can realise our ideas faster and at greater scale, in an excellent environment.” The acquisition strengthens finanzen.net Group’s capabilities in user-focused, AI-driven financial content and brokerage. The finanzen.net Group will progressively integrate Vickii’s technology into its portal and finanzen.net ZERO, providing investors with tailored guidance from research and analysis to investment decisions. The founders will remain involved, contributing to the development of AI-powered products and content. Muhamad Chahrour, CEO of finanzen.net Group, added: Muhamad Chahrour “AI, when used pragmatically, can create significant value for users. We want to provide our readers with more clearly structured information and give our investors a better orientation.” Featured image credit: Edited by Fintech News Switzerland, based on image by wahyu_t via Freepik
