✅ Wealthtech App Hugo Bags $2 Million In Seed Funding

For our second digest, a Singaporean digital wealth and savings app gain momentum by bagging a $2 million USD seed funding round. The company, called Hugo, announced that it has raised the funds from 1982 Ventures, prominent family offices, and angel investors. With these new funds, Hugo said that it will launch more features to help consumers optimise their budgeting, savings, and investing habits. David Fergusson, the CEO and Co-Founder of Hugo, recently spoke on their recent funding round. He says money is the biggest cause of stress and Covid-19 has only reinforced how financially unprepared most people are. In addition to that, he says that the team at Hugo is excited to introduce the company at a time when financial wellbeing has become so relevant. One of the unique features that Hugo boasts of is called the Gold Vault, which makes investing in gold easy for all. With these features, Hugo customers will be able to buy or sell gold for as low as S$0.01. Hugo’s Gold Vault is backed by physical gold stored in an accredited London Bullion Market Association and insured by Lloyds of London. Because of this, investors and savers will be given the same protections as large hedge funds and private banks. With that information, it is easy to see why Hugo was able to attract so much funding — ease of use when building a portfolio is very important.
