FundersClub

Funders Club has leveraged the freedom and flexibility of online services by offering its investments a war chest of networks and consultancy services alongside traditional funding activities. Not only this, but their online network works the other way too. Potential investors can become part of its investor network and use it to gain access to startups, through which they can gain equity and income, setting it apart from online funding networks like Kickstarter.

This ecosystem of founders and funders has reaped massive rewards for both sides of the coin. Funders Club only accepts 2% of its startup applications, but is more flexible with its investor network. This once again sets it apart from rigidly structured investment competitors, and its been democratising and disrupting the investment strategy arena for over 10 years now.
