After just over five years, Lendstar closed in August 2018. The startup began as a pure P2P platform for friends to lend money to each other. Collaborations followed, including with Amazon and Zalando. During an appearance on the TV show "Die Höhle der Löwen," the company persuaded Jochen Schweizer to invest. Despite everything, the money ran out and an application for insolvency had to be filed. However, it wasn't quite over, as Lendstar was eventually acquired by Epay. (Photo: Lendstar)
