Ventus Energy Review

Advertised returns of up to 20%, daily interest payments and a 90-day buyback guarantee. These are the promises made by P2P lending newcomer Ventus Energy. This is a platform operating in Estonia that specialises in the acquisition and development of power plants.

The ultimate beneficiary owner of Ventus Energy is Jānis Timma, a fairly known person in the P2P industry. Many years ago, he founded the less successful crowdfunding platform Crowdestor, which still owes more than EUR 27 million to investors.

Can you trust a P2P lending platform like Ventus Energy with your money considering these circumstances? In this Ventus Energy review, we take a closer look at the platform’s business model and risk profile.

All the information that are covered in this Ventus Energy review are based on my own research. Please make sure to do your own due diligence before investing on Ventus Energy or any other P2P platform. More information can be found in the Disclaimer.
