VIVE is a smart goal-driven investment app, that helps you realize your financial goals. Invest for a trip, tuition for your children, a supplement to your pension plan or just for capital accumulation.
Website: https://www.viveapp.com/
What problem they solve: The application helps people reach their financial goals or improve their financial situation regardless of their background, understanding of financial services, income, or lifestyle. They can achieve whatever they have in mind: be it a house, a computer or simply saving money.

How it works: Just download the app from the Google App or Google Play Store. Then, complete the onboarding process: provide your first name, your email address and answer a few questions about your financial situation. After you have answered, the app takes this information into consideration and defines how much money you may contribute each month.

Bridgefund: Automated where possible – humane when necessary

BridgeFund is a financial platform that helps entrepreneurs realize their growth ambitions by providing loans in a simple, fast, and flexible way.
Website: https://www.bridgefund.nl/
What problem they solve: Nowadays, Banking systems have become too hesitant and slow when it comes to offering loans. Even after dozens of questions, paperwork and a lot of hassle, you have to wait on average 6 weeks for their decision. Business opportunities and growth ambitions can be lost during that time.

Fortunately, BridgeFund helps you arrange your own business loan independently within just 5 minutes without the intervention of a bank. You can quickly get working capital for purchasing machines, inventory, stocks, or bridging debtors. It is also possible to borrow money for growth and expansion expenditures – these include opening a new office/branch, running a marketing campaign, or launching a new website. It has never been easier to invest in the growth of your company and take it to the next level.
How it works: You can apply entirely online and the same working day you’ll find out whether you are eligible for a business loan or not, and if approved – what your lending ceiling is. Repayment is charged automatically on a daily basis. Paying each day a bit releases you from accumulating a greater refund per month.
As soon as the debit authorization from your bank is received, you get the money and can get back to your business.

The longer you keep investing, the more your money will work for you. This is called the return-on-investment effect. The app also ensures your long-term financial freedom, because Peaks doesn’t hold back your money, you can withdraw funds anytime you want.

How does it work: You only need to decide which portfolio and which investment best fits you. If your situation changes, you can adjust your settings at any time.
