Ghent-based fintech startup Warren<\/a> has
\nraised \u20ac10 million in a seed funding round led by Motive Ventures, the venture
\narm of transatlantic investment fund Motive Partners<\/a>. The round also included F
\nCapital and follow-on investments from Entourage, Syndicate One, and 100IN.<\/p>\n

Founded to address shortcomings in
\nBelgium\u2019s supplementary pension system, Warren<\/a> operates a workplace pension
\nplatform and financial coaching service designed to help employees better
\nunderstand and grow their long-term savings. The company obtained an Institution
\nfor Occupational Retirement Provision (IBP) licence in 2025 and now manages its
\nown pension fund, Warren Pension Fund OFP.<\/p>\n

The company believes that low yields, inflation, fees, and limited transparency can reduce the long-term effectiveness of traditional supplementary pension products.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of Belgians
\nsave for their retirement in financial products that erode their purchasing
\npower year after year, even though retirement is by definition a long-term
\nhorizon. This is an enormous social problem whose severity remains chronically
\nunderestimated.
It’s not just about our pension. It’s about our prosperity,
\ntoday and for future generations,<\/p>\n

says Cedric De Vleeschauwer<\/a>, co-founder
\nand CEO of Warren.<\/p>\n

The company’s pension fund invests
\nthrough a diversified portfolio of equity and bond exchange-traded funds.
\nAccording to Warren, employers can switch to the platform without increasing
\ntheir existing pension budgets, while employees retain the full investment
\nreturn, with no entry, exit, or assets-under-management fees.<\/p>\n

In addition to its pension offering, Warren provides a financial coaching platform that combines AI-powered guidance with access to human advisers. By integrating data from sources such as pension records, employee benefits, and banking information, the platform helps users make informed decisions about retirement planning, mortgages, insurance, and personal finances. According to the company, around 100 Belgian businesses, including Lighthouse, Yuki, Wintercircus, and Poppy Mobility, have adopted the platform, with thousands of employees actively using the service.<\/p>\n

The newly raised capital will support
\nWarren\u2019s continued expansion in Belgium and prepare the company for entry into
\nadditional European markets. The funding will also be used to grow its team,
\nfurther develop its pension and financial coaching products, and scale its
\nplatform to serve a larger employee base across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ghent-based fintech startup Warren has raised \u20ac10 million in a seed funding round led by Motive Ventures, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[28,147,530],"class_list":["post-713281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
