London, Greater London, United Kingdom Lightyear Full time
About Lightyear

We're on a mission to make investing better for everyone in Europe. More specifically, we're making it light years better (sorry... we had to). We're combining multi-currency accounts with unlimited access to global markets so that everyone in Europe can invest without sneaky hidden fees or unnecessary barriers.

Over the last 2 years, we've grown from being just an idea to a regulated business in both the UK & the EU, launching in 22 countries and raising $35M along the way. And we've hired a team of 50+ people from some of the best fintechs and startups in Europe.

We've got a stellar group of investors behind us including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sir Richard Branson, Mosaic Ventures, Taavet Hinrikus, Jaan Tallinn, Sten Tamkivi, Eileen Burbidge as well as a host of angel investors. In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A round and have been covered in CNBC, TechCrunch, Business Insider and City AM.
