Our take
The number of startups looking for funding in Europe has grown dramatically over the last decade. Crowdfunding provides a solution to this, allowing companies to tap into the public rather than rely on institutional investors. The European crowdfunding market is predicted to be $5BN by 2025 and the amount of money pledged on crowdfunding platforms is now starting to rival traditional VC funding.
The company's best known competitor is Seedrs, and they both consistently compete to take on the most exciting startups as customers. For example, Revolut has hosted crowdfunding rounds on both Crowdcube and Seedrs. What set both companies apart though, has been their reach.
Crowdcube has worked hard to secure the first license to raise funding across European borders - not a measly feat by any chance. This gives them more than a leg up as the company can now expand its startup portfolio and present its users with a wider range of interesting companies to choose from.
