Ascending arrow with people

Our vision

Is a world in which there are only trustworthy and accessible financial products.

With CAPTIQ, we offer regulated professionals the first alternative and trustworthy online financing and thus come one step closer to our vision. Together with our stakeholders, we want to offer our customers more planning security, more flexibility and better access to financing - we want to help make dreams come true.

Our mission

Is to offer customer-centric and digital financial solutions from a single source.

In doing so, we bring together all relevant market participants in a value-adding manner and focus on long-term support and further development.

Nothing is more important to us than the satisfaction of our customers. In doing so, we also want to constantly improve and develop ourselves and our first product to create the best possible user experience and prove that financing can also be simple and transparent.

Through the intergenerational contract that we create with our innovative credit value chain, we bring all market participants together in a value-creating way. Ultimately, our cooperations are based above all on long-term relationships, trust, and joint development in order to grow together.

How an idea became CAPTIQ:

The idea for CAPTIQ arose during the studies of our managing directors. As part of a research project, they were investigating lending platforms, which were still relatively new at the time. By chance, a related pediatrician reported massive difficulties with start-up financing at the time. The loan amount of 100,000€ was not economically attractive enough for the house bank, and the application processing also dragged on for several weeks.

Quickly our founders realized that about 90% of all regulated professionals cannot be served adequately for their qualification. Especially loans up to 250.000€ posed difficulties, because they are hardly profitable for the banks. A suitable alternative financing, which meets our time, did not exist.

For these economically and socially extremely important professional groups, our founders Soraya Braun & Lorenz Beimler have set up something special. From the beginning, the project was a matter of the heart with the will to give something back.

Foundation

April 2017

Shortly after the business idea for the startup was born, our CEOs Soraya Braun and Lorenz Beimler decide to found CAPTIQ. By the way, CAPTIQ is a portmanteau of Capital & IQ.

Financing round

May 2019

CAPTIQ has successfully completed its first round of financing. A total of 15 business angels and professional investment companies - the majority from the financial sector - have provided the company with seed capital of over half a million euros.

Capital increase

October 2019

CAPTIQ has convinced another financing specialist with its business model: the US-based ZAIS Group has committed to the Frankfurt-based fintech start-up as its largest external investor as part of a capital increase.

Investment Grade Rating

March 2020

To refinance the loans, CAPTIQ structured a bond and became the first lending platform in Europe to receive an investment grade rating. This generated a new, low-risk asset class 'chamber professionals' in the market, in which risk-averse institutional investors (such as pension funds) can invest.

Further development

September 2020

CAPTIQ has successfully completed its third round of financing, receiving a seven-figure capital increase. Thus, CAPTIQ is well prepared for the further development of the product and the preparations for the market launch. In parallel, the startup has started the placement of its first bond for the refinancing of low-volume loans.

Solaris

August 2021

CAPTIQ has signed a cooperation agreement with Solaris, Europe's leading banking-as-a-service platform. Solaris will act as the lending bank in the offering of the lending platform for chamber professionals developed by CAPTIQ and adds another automated process to our credit value chain.

Rocket launch

September 2021

The set goals were achieved! CAPTIQ was able to place its bond with the renowned capital management company BayernInvest, so nothing stood in the way of the first loan. Our digital lending platform entered the pilot phase with our cooperation partners. The first CAPTIQ loan was smoothly disbursed to a doctor within 2 days of application.

Fresh capital

November 2021

CAPTIQ has successfully completed another investment round. Led by sino Beteiligungen GmbH, a total of €2.6 million in fresh capital was raised. Through the first successful cooperations with broker pools and the granting of the first loans, a product-side proof-of-concept could be provided in the pilot phase. The fresh capital is to be used for the further development of the business model.

Successful icon

2022

Overall, 2022 was a successful year for CAPTIQ, marked by strong growth and a successful business strategy.
Among other things, important partnerships were forged to make the CAPTIQ Premium Loan available to a wider audience of chamber professionals.

IQ

2023

Today, CAPTIQ has already been able to facilitate a wide variety of financing projects for chamber professionals. Among them were business start-ups, takeovers, debt restructuring and many other different purposes. Our premium loan has so far been able to convince many different chamber professionals as a fast, flexible and contemporary solution.

Shake Hands

August 2023

Through the cooperation with Anadi Bank, we can now offer our customers improved credit offers. Like us, Anadi Bank attaches great importance to customer value, digitalization and fair conditions. Thus, this partnership enables us to offer loans with even more attractive conditions.

As a company, we strive to ensure that employees from a wide variety of cultures & beliefs meet and learn from each other. The different backgrounds of our employees enable us to break out of old thought patterns and approach work from different perspectives. There is an enormous amount of potential in this and every employer should build on this.
