“We’ve met Goin’ founder at the beginning of the year, managed to visit their HQ in Barcelona and invite them to present the company to our private investors’ club ICLUB members in Kyiv and Monaco. There are a lot of savings products on the market, but none of them is focused on short-term goals, which gives Goin a unique positioning in the market,” Viktoriya Tigipko, TA Ventures founder and ICLUB Global President.
“Goin acquirers users much cheaper than most fintech-startups due to its high share of organic growth. At the same time, retention and engagement rates are unusually high for fintech products. We believe that these are very strong indicators of closeness to product-market fit,” Alex Matsiuk, Investment Manager at TA Ventures.
