Director

Startup Giants PLC

STARTUP GIANTS is a UK-based startup accelerator that invests in tech startups in the UK at the pre-seed stage (also known as concept stage), then participates on subsequent seed and expansion rounds.

Twice a year, in the Spring and Autumn, we run an accelerator round and invest up to £75k in amazing consumer startups that have the potential to attract over 1m customers within the first 12 months from launch.

Unlike other accelerators that require you to huddle together in a room for 4 months, we've tailored our mentoring to support talented entrepreneurs who need to keep their existing jobs a little while longer.

And here's the kicker...

Because we're listed on the stock exchange in London, not only do we provide investors with a growing portfolio of UK tech startups under a highly regulated environment, but our investors also get liquidity from day one instead of having to wait 5-10 years for a direct investment via an angel or crowd platform to mature.

And there's more...

For UK residents investing via your SIPPs or ISAs, you could gain between 20-40% tax benefits on the amount you invest into our growing portfolio (http://www.hl.co.uk/pensions/sipp/tax-benefits-of-a-sipp).

Ivan Massow Group

Group Managing Director

A few years ago, I reached a pivotal turning point in my life. I made the decision to step away from the corporate rat race and embark on a mission to tackle the mounting financial challenges faced by many. My goal? To give everyone access to affordable financial support, enabling them to pave brighter paths for themselves and future generations. Drawing from my successful career in finance, where I've helped countless individuals achieve financial freedom, I'm fully dedicated to crafting a future that's not only financially sound but also sustainable and fulfilling.

At the helm of Aventur, I lead an exceptional team driving transformative change in the Fintech realm of personal finance management. Our multi-award-winning journey, which began in early 2021, has been marked by ground-breaking achievements, including facilitating over £165m in client investments and solidifying our position as a leading force in the UK's FinTech landscape.

My entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by a series of ventures, each offering invaluable lessons in business and financial growth. Through trial and error, I've honed my ability to challenge the status quo and introduce innovative solutions to age-old problems.

With a diverse portfolio of experiences, I serve as a trusted advisor and Non-Executive Director to several esteemed companies, offering invaluable insights and strategic guidance. Whether it's nurturing fledgling startups or empowering seasoned CEOs, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, both as a mentor and through my own successful ventures.

Beyond the confines of the boardroom, I find solace in the depths of the ocean, indulging in my love for scuba diving. I also cherish moments spent dining with friends, exploring new horizons, and struggling to learn Mandarin.

Together with my dedicated team at Aventur, we're committed to reshaping the landscape of personal finance, one innovative solution at a time. Let's connect and explore how Aventur can empower you on your financial journey. Whether over coffee or through posts on here, I look forward to the opportunity to engage and inspire.

Stacey (邱思博) Body

In recent years, we’ve seen millions of people struggling to make sense of their finances, and not because they lack discipline, but because the advice industry is complex, fragmented and inaccessible to many.

Outdated systems and increased regulatory costs have also resulted in traditional wealth managers abandoning clients, creating a significantly underserved market.

That’s why we started Aventur.

Our mission is to help people gain clarity, confidence and control of their finances through technology that makes personalised financial guidance truly accessible to all.

This investment gives us the opportunity to accelerate that mission. It’s not just about faster product development, it’s about bringing meaningful financial wellbeing to more people, sooner.

I’m incredibly proud of the team behind Aventur, thankful to Sonja Lang for leading the funding round and grateful to our new investors, who believe in the same future we do: one where AI and human empathy work together to make financial wellbeing achievable for everyone.

Here’s to the next chapter!

Stacey Body

CEO at Aventur | Certified B Corp - leading financial inclusion through transparent data-led decision making.

We’re excited to announce a major milestone for Aventur!

We recently secured new investment from a Dutch family office in order to accelerate the build and launch of our AI-powered financial wellbeing platform.

This investment represents a 10% equity stake in the business and is a significant step forward in our mission to make financial wellbeing accessible for everyone.

This funding will help us to continue and accelerate building our AI and data capabilities to enhance the user experience of our app, as well as strengthening our internal teams and systems to support it.

The funding round was led by Sonja Lang, Non-Executive Director for Strategy and Growth.

Co-Founder and CEO, Stacey Body shared:

“We’re building a platform that brings together human insight and AI to help people gain clarity, confidence and control of their financial futures through easy-to-use technology.”

Thomas Young, Co-Founder & COO added:

“Recent market research indicates that over half of UK adults are now using AI tools to manage their money and the demand for intelligent, trusted solutions is growing rapidly. We believe Aventur is perfectly positioned to meet it.”
