Funding Market: SevenVentures Invests in Finn via Media-for-Equity
SevenVentures, the investment arm of German broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1, has taken a stake in Munich mobility startup Finn in a media-for-equity deal. The transaction includes a gross media volume described by SevenVentures as being in the mid-double-digit millions. The participation is part of Finn’s Series D round, in which the company is raising about €100 million of new equity and has achieved a valuation above €1 billion, giving it unicorn status. Finn, founded in 2019, offers an all-inclusive car subscription (monthly rate covering insurance, taxes, registration, maintenance and wear). SevenVentures and Finn have worked together in a media partnership since 2024.
A broadcaster-backed media-for-equity investment in a consumer mobility unicorn shows continued use of TV/media inventory as strategic capital and signals meaningful cross‑industry partnership and monetization activity in the B2C ad market.
