Singapore-based wealth management platform StashAway has raised S$22.3m ($16m) in its Series C funding round.
The round was led by Square Peg, a venture capital fund in Australia. Burda Principal Investments and the company’s existing investor Eight Roads Ventures also participated in the fundraising.
As part of the investment, Square Peg partner Tushar Roy will join StashAway’s Board of Directors.
StashAway plans to utilise the new proceeds to support its international expansion as well as accelerate product development.
The move comes nearly a year after the company raised $12m in a Series B round, which was led by Eight Roads Ventures.
StashAway co-founder and CEO Michele Ferrario said: “This new round of financing further strengthens StashAway’s balance sheet position, bringing our paid-up capital to S$50.7m.
