The doors have closed on Invest 2026 in Stuttgart, and we are back in the office with a clear sense of achievement. On April 17-18, Lendermarket returned for the third year as an exhibitor to network, connect and grow.

Our goal was simple: to step out from behind the screen and engage directly with the people who make our platform possible. It was 2 days full of discussions and productivity and we are thrilled to report that it was our most successful year yet. We want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet us and ask questions.

Meaningful connections

For Lendermarket, the value of Invest 2026 isn't just in the numbers–it’s in the dialogue. While we are a digital platform we believe that transparency is built through personal interaction and mutual trust.

This year, we conducted several pre-booked meetings, with both existing and new investors, to discuss our services in detail. These extensive conversations provided us with invaluable feedback, helping us understand exactly how we can continue to refine our tools to better serve our investors’ financial goals.

"It was great to meet the German Lendermarket community, whether they be new or older investors, to get to know them as people and learn more about their investment goals." – Adam Dwyer, Head of Investor Relations

A record-breaking turnout

We were also excited to see that the interest in P2P lending is stronger than ever. This year, we managed to gather more than double the amount of prospects compared to our results from 2025.

Our booth naturally attracted both long-time users and newcomers. Our design-led merch, particularly the custom stickers and tote bags, sparked conversations across the venue and served as a great reminder of how vibrant the Lendermarket community has become.

Why investors are choosing P2P in 2026

Throughout the event we spoke with a diverse range of investors–from those seeking to diversify their portfolios to newcomers looking for their first step into passive income. The recurring theme was a demand for transparency, ease of use, and reliability. Our team was on hand to explain how Lendermarket addresses these needs through our trusted loan originators and automated investing features.

Here is a quick look at why investors decide to choose Lendermarket:

• Auto Invest: Automated, time-saving investing for a hands-off experience.
• Buyback guarantee: Added security on your investments for peace of mind.
• Accessibility: Start building a diversified loan portfolio with ease.
• Short-term opportunities: Flexibility through short-term loan investing.

Looking ahead: Building your passive income portfolio

Invest 2026 was a great reminder of why we do what we do. We are committed to making P2P lending accessible to everyone, whether you are an experienced investor or just starting to explore short-term loan investing.

A successful event like this is only possible because of the effort of our dedicated team and the trust of our community. Every sticker shared and every flyer handed out was a step toward growing our investor base.

We are already processing the feedback we received and can’t wait to implement new ideas to improve everyone’s experience. Thank you for being part of our journey–we’re already looking forward to seeing you at the next event!
