Pitch
About the Campaign
The majority of people don't invest, even though 61% of non-investors recognise that their future outlook would improve if they started investing now.
At Peaks, we've built an app that makes investing simple and accessible, so that everyone can achieve a brighter financial future, no matter their wealth, knowledge or experience with investing.
You can now become part of our mission by participating in our crowdfunding.

Market Opportunity
We estimate that there are at least 130 million Europeans who are in need of a simple solution that enables them to invest.
We believe Peaks is well-positioned to become one of the leading European players in this field as we are able to target new customer segments: our user base is composed of young people (median age 34) and nearly 40% women.
We focus on long-term wealth accumulation, have built our own technology platform in house, are fully licensed and do not depend on others. We determine our own future.

Business Model
Our business model is aligned with our mission as our revenues grow when more people use Peaks and in turn, grow their wealth.
Our pricing model ensures stable and recurring revenue streams. We offer 3 subscriptions, each consisting of a fixed fee to ensure stable revenue and a variable fee that scales with the customer's wealth.
We acquire new customers through our referral program (> 40% of inflow), organic inflow via content marketing (>30%) and paid acquisition (<30%). (source: Peaks)

Use of Funds
Our aim is to become a leading European player in wealth accumulation. Peaks' operational costs are already fully covered by our revenues, so the funds raised will be used entirely to accelerate our growth.
We will use the funds to:
=> Invest in brand awareness and customer growth;
=> Improve and expand our proposition for existing and new customers, including freelancers and business owners;
=> Roll out Peaks to three new countries in Europe by 2025.
Key Information
Preference shares
Peaks currently has 2,000,000 shares issued, of which 5,000 are preference shares. These preference shares have a liquidation preference of €12,100,000. This means that in a liquidity event, the first €12,100,000 of proceeds will be distributed to the holders of the preference shares. Any sales proceeds above this amount will then be distributed pro-rata to the holders of the ordinary shareholders.
Company Valuation
Please note that Peaks is currently valued at €52m pre-money. As stated above, the Company has two share classes: ordinary shares and preference shares. As the preference shares can receive a maximum of €12.1m on an exit or liquidation, each preference share has been valued at €2,420 (there being 5,000 preference shares in issue). As per the campaign, the ordinary shares are each valued at €20 (being €39.9m divided by the 1,995,000 ordinary shares in issue pre-round). For that reason, the percentage of ordinary shares being offered at the campaign’s minimum target is 2.44%.
Due to the different share prices, once this investment round is complete, the preference shares will not be included in the valuation set out on the Post-Investment page (the “Indicative Valuation”) - that figure will only indicate the valuation of the ordinary shares in Peaks. Therefore, the true value of the company will be the Indicative Valuation plus the fixed EUR 12,100,000 valuation of the preference shares.
Employee participation plan
Peaks B.V. has currently allocated up to a maximum of 5% of the proceeds from the ordinary shares in a sale or IPO for employees through an employee participation plan (Virtual Stock Units), reducing the sales proceeds available to ordinary shareholders.
