Fintech startup GoBear's two co-founders to step down

This follows the resignation of former CEO Andre Hesselink in 2018.

Financial comparison platform GoBear has revealed that two of its founders CTO Ivonne Bojoh and CCO Marnix Zwart will leave the startup by the end of the year.

"We can confirm that GoBear has recently made personnel changes within the organisation. Such decisions are never taken lightly, but are not uncommon for a growth stage company in a rapidly changing marketplace,” a spokesperson for the firm said.

“GoBear is continuing to focus on long-term growth in Asia Pacific, following successful funding rounds."

In July 2018, one of its founders, Andre Hesselink, resigned as CEO of GoBear and was succeeded by Adrian Chng. Hesselink is currently the Special Adviser to the startup and to its shareholders Dutch venture capital fund Walvis Participaties and financial services provider Aegon N.V.

Their most recent funding round was last May, when they secured about $108.96m (US$80m) from Walvis and Aegon N.V.

Founded in 2015, GoBear is a platform that compares insurance plans, credit cards, loans and banking products for its users.
