Description

The platform has helped over 520 businesses raise £230m since its inception in 2011, and offers key metrics and real-time data for companies to track their campaigns while providing individual investors with features to create and track portfolio investments. Crowdcube is dedicated to helping UK-based entrepreneurs raise finance to start or grow their business, and has successfully funded businesses such as Monzo, River Cottage, and the Eden Project. However, investing in start-ups and early stage businesses involves risks, and Crowdcube is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions.
