Berlin – Benjamin Ullrich, Martin Schaper and Martyna Sabat of YPOG provided comprehensive legal advice to early-stage investor and operating VC Project A in connection with the Series D funding round of Europe's leading digital wealth manager for private clients LIQID. The round has a volume of €88 million and was led by LGT, one of the world's largest family-owned private banking and asset management groups. In addition to Project A, HQ Trust, the multi-family office of the Harald Quandt family, and Dieter von Holtzbrinck Ventures also participated in the financing round. With the completion of the round, LGT will be LIQID's largest investor alongside London-based Toscafund Asset Management.
Founded by Christian Schneider-Sickert, Berlin-based LIQID offers sophisticated private clients digital access to investment strategies and opportunities previously only available to high-net-worth and institutional investors for a fraction of the traditional minimum investment. This includes award-winning asset management as well as professionally curated portfolios of private equity, venture capital and real estate funds. Since 2018, LIQID says it has doubled client assets under management each year and currently manages over €1.4 billion. The Series D financing round is subject to regulatory approval and includes a secondary component.
