Scalable Capital is a leading European digital investment platform and fintech company founded in 2014, offering an integrated neo-broker, robo-advisor, and wealth management services to empower retail investors with affordable access to stocks, ETFs, funds, bonds, derivatives, and cryptocurrencies.[1][4][5] It serves over 1 million clients across markets like Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, managing more than €27 billion in assets through self-directed trading (via Scalable Broker with savings plans from €1), automated ETF portfolios, and B2B white-label solutions.[2][3][5][6] The company's mission centers on democratizing professional-grade investing with low costs, innovative tech, and features like 3.25% interest on cash balances up to €500,000, recently expanded via partnerships like BlackRock for private equity access.[1][2][3]
Scalable Capital was founded in December 2014 in Munich, Germany, by Erik Podzuweit and Florian Prucker, who aimed to leverage modern technology to make sophisticated investing accessible beyond wealthy elites.[3][4][5] Starting as a digital wealth manager focused on cost-effective ETF portfolios, it evolved in 2020 by launching a neo-broker for direct trading in shares, ETFs, funds, and more, while expanding into B2B platforms.[4][5] Key milestones include raising €470 million across five rounds from investors like Balderton Capital, HV Capital, Noteus, and Sofina; debuting at FinovateEurope 2016; and recent launches of a proprietary vertically integrated platform combining brokerage, wealth management, and loans, plus a new European retail stock exchange.[1][2][3] This growth has scaled operations to offices in Munich, Berlin, London, and Vienna, with over 500 employees.[5]
Scalable Capital rides the fintech democratization wave, lowering barriers to capital markets amid rising retail investing post-pandemic and interest in alternatives like private equity and crypto.[2][4] Its timing aligns with Europe's regulatory push for open banking and MiFID II cost transparency, plus demand for neo-brokers amid low bank fees and high inflation, positioning it against incumbents like Trade Republic or eToro.[3][5] Market forces favoring it include €27B+ AUM growth, multi-market expansion, and B2B scalability, influencing the ecosystem by pioneering integrated platforms that blend brokerage with robo-advisory and enabling partners to embed investing tech.[2][3][7] As a category leader, it accelerates fintech consolidation and retail access to illiquids, fostering broader wealth creation in a high-interest, volatile economy.[1][2]
Scalable Capital is poised for accelerated growth through its new platform, targeting deposit-taking authorization, further B2B deals, and product expansions like enhanced alts and loans amid Europe's retail boom.[3][5] Trends like AI-driven personalization, regulatory tailwinds for embedded finance, and rising private equity demand will shape its path, potentially doubling clients and AUM as it scales pan-Europe.[2][3] Its influence may evolve from disruptor to infrastructure provider, powering banks and fintechs while redefining accessible wealth tech—echoing its founding mission to make professional investing universal.[1][4]
Scalable Capital has raised $376.0M across 7 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $180.0M Series E in June 2025.
