We are just a few days away from the end of the year 2021. We want to evaluate this year and inform you of several new developments that 2022 will offer us and that will benefit all of us.
Unfortunately, the pandemic and its consequences still exist. However, thanks to all the measures taken, this year is visualizing the beginning of the economic and the health situation recovery. As a result, we are close to full recovery, giving us reason to be optimistic.
The entrepreneurship ecosystem also benefited from some of these economic measures. For example, the new and long-awaited Startups Law and the transposition of the European Crowdfunding Law. Such measures will help companies develop more solidly (financially speaking), while investors will be incentivized by supporting these companies. We should not forget that the principal sources of employment are small and medium-sized companies. Therefore, the benefit will have an impact on the whole country.
2021, once again, has brought considerable challenges and investments for many companies. Thanks to all of you, we could also help many companies ( more than 100 companies in the last five years) and generate good investment opportunities.
As you know, our goal is to turn Fellow Funders into a “Private Investment Platform”. For this purpose, we are constantly looking for ways to offer you access to new investment opportunities and new products. Some examples this year were the real estate capsules (giving you access to investments with a time horizon of less than one year) and annualized target returns of over 20%. We are already planning new, equally attractive products for 2022, always keeping the company’s DNA.
The upcoming months look set to be exciting. We know that the road we are on is the most appropriate, and we want you all to be an active part of this process. Our goal is to learn about your concerns, your needs, your opinions. We want to develop a new financial model together. Furthermore, we would like to build an Investment Bank of the 21st century for the 21st century. We are committed to this goal, and we will devote all our efforts to achieving it.
Thanks to our investors, we can implement our philosophy and processes. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the confidence you placed in Fellow Funders and to wish you and your families a fantastic 2022.
Our best wishes,
Francisco Mariscal
CEO Fellow Funders
