Our take

Republic Europe (formerly Seedrs) is a pioneer in the crowdfunding market, being one of the first to offer investments in startups, Since launching, Republic Europe has funded more deals with more money invested into campaigns than any other platform, including a notable £3.8 million round for Revolut from over 4,300 investors

Republic Europe introduced the equity crowdfunding sector's first Secondary Market, which has seen significant activity, with some investors realizing up to 19x returns. Its crowdfunding rounds are beginning to rival traditional VC equity funding in terms of both value and non-monetary benefits, attracting numerous startups across Europe to the platform.

With a strong presence in several European countries and plans to expand further. Backed by sufficient resources, Republic Europe continues to grow its footprint and influence in the industry.
