The Danish investment platform Pluto.markets has just secured 37 million DKK in a new funding round.

The capital injection comes on the heels of several notable milestones. The platform has surpassed 1 billion DKK in total transaction volume and now counts over 10,000 users, all achieved in a relatively short period since Pluto.markets’ public launch in 2024.

New features and tools set to expand the platform

The Danish fintech platform Pluto.markets was founded by Oscar Vingtoft and Joakim Brüchmann, the latter a former Goldman Sachs trader and founder of nBoard. The duo’s vision has been clear from the start: to make investing more accessible and user-friendly, without compromising on sophistication or functionality.

The recent funding is earmarked for expanding the platform with new features and tools, as well as broader product development—a central focus for the months ahead.

The round was led by Seed Capital and supported by several prominent figures in the Danish business scene. Among them is Sander Janca-Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Flatpay, one of Denmark’s fastest-growing and most resilient fintechs.

FC Copenhagen captain Thomas Delaney joins the investor roster

The investor group also includes FC Copenhagen captain Thomas Delaney, marking his growing involvement in the world of startups and investment.

Speaking to Berlingske, Delaney said:

“It’s exciting to be involved, and the company was closing a funding round. They are at a stage where the product is already in place.”

He also elaborated on his personal approach to investing:

“I come from a family where investment has always been a common topic, and I’ve also invested personally as a hobby for several years. Investment requires timing and diligence. Even though I have advisors, I make my own decisions when the timing is right, and I believe in the case—this one included.”
