Crowdcube

Crowdcube makes angel investing more accessible, affordable and rewarding by assisting high growth businesses raise their funding.

As the world’s first and most successful investment crowdfunding platform, Crowdcube enables entrepreneurs to bypass the traditional business angel, venture capital or bank finance routes, giving them more control and access to more investors. For investors, Crowdcube provides them with a way to cherry-pick a stake in an innovative business that traditionally would have been restricted to corporate investors. In addition, they can now benefit from a fixed return per annum by lending money to more established companies offering a mini-bond on Crowdcube.

Since February 2011, more than 90,000 savvy investors have registered with Crowdcube, helping to raise over £40 million of equity finance for over 150 UK business pitches.

Investing involves risk and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Investing equity in start-ups and early stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution. Mini-bonds can be unsecured, non-convertible and non-transferable. Crowdcube is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. 

Crowdcube is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (No. 572026).
