London-based FinTech startup Wealthyhood, a wealth-building app helping younger investors learn, save, invest and build wealth, has raised €3.6 million in a strategic funding round, with Global Wealth Group PLC stepping in as lead investor.
The move signals Global Wealth’s formal entry into the FinTech and digital investing space, while providing Wealthyhood with the capital to push its expansion across Europe. The company will use the funds to enhance its platform’s technology, integrate more AI features, and scale into new markets, starting with Greece.
According to Alexandros Christodoulakis, Co-founder & CEO of Wealthyhood: “Wealthyhood was born from a simple realisation: the financial system has failed to offer meaningful access to the vast majority of people. Access doesn’t mean being able to buy a stock from a mobile app. It means having the tools, knowledge, and guidance to reach financial independence on equal terms. We share a common vision with Global Wealth, a vision for democratising investments and empowering our generation for financial prosperity.”
Founded in 2020, Wealthyhood has built its offering around four core pillars: education, saving, investing, and automation. Its content platform features over 50 interactive lessons, market briefings, and personalised insights.
Wealthyhood’s Savings Vaults pay market-beating interest rates, while the investment feature offers commission-free access to fractional shares from as little as €1. Users can also activate Wealthyhood Autopilot to automate their monthly investment plans, savings habits, and portfolio rebalancing in a single click.
The startup’s mobile-first app guides users through saving, investing, and wealth-building with the support of automation tools, financial education modules, and personalised AI-powered investment strategies. It already counts over 50,000 active users in the United Kingdom, a market it entered with reportedly “minimal marketing spend“.
The strategic partnership comes as Wealthyhood moves into Greece and the broader EU market, having recently secured licensing from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. The company is also launching B2B services, making its platform available to banks and financial institutions aiming to modernise their digital investment offerings.
Michalis Ioannidis, CEO of Global Wealth, added: “Global Wealth was created
for one reason: to give everyone the opportunity to achieve financial freedom. This
requires people having direct, digital access to manage their finances. We believe that
the coming years will be the era of WealthTech globally. Today, we are taking the first
decisive step with Wealthyhood, a company that has the technology, business model,
and product to conquer this sector.”
According to figures provided by Wealthyhood, Europe’s digital investment market is expected to triple its user base by 2028, with assets under management climbing from €1.5 trillion to €4.6 trillion by 2029. Millennial and Gen-Z investors are set to manage over €30 trillion globally by 2030, “marking the largest wealth transfer in history“.
Wealthyhood’s expansion into “underserved markets such as Southeastern Europe” is timely. These markets are seeing user growth rates exceeding 27% annually, positioning the company well to become a go-to solution for young Europeans seeking financial independence.
More than 40 private and institutional investors across the UK, Greece, and Europe participated in the round, highlighting Wealthyhood’s potential.
