“We are Hong Kong based, but the plan was never to launch an app only for the Hong Kong market,” explained Wyand. “We live in a globalised world. Ultimately, our goal is to build a truly worldwide financial marketplace, to serve not just a user’s home market but make managing money across markets accessible and easy for anyone to do. This new seed round allows us to start making that vision a reality, and we have strong new partners who share our passion and believe in our vision for what gini can do to disrupt the global personal finances industry more broadly, and make financial freedom accessible to everyone around the world,” he added.

“gini’s business model is proven to be successful in the US and Europe and we’re proud to welcome gini in our portfolio, as part of our recent expansion to Hong Kong. We’re excited to see the app venturing outside of Hong Kong and capitalizing on the many opportunities in both developed and emerging markets. Our global network and strong presence in Southeast AsiaEurope, and Latin America can help the brand tap into new markets and capture growth opportunities, early on,” said Marco Stutz, Director at Mountain Partners.

“We gravitated towards gini as we felt the company had identified the opportunity in personal finance, not only in Hong Kong, but also around the world. Treuenburg Group has a vested interest in growing fintech and gini’s excellence in using technology and their user centered approach makes it a great fit for our portfolio,” said Torsten Pfeiffer, Managing Partner, Treuenburg Group.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.

The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.

Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.

“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”

Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
