Crowdcube is an investment platform that facilitates equity crowdfunding for growing companies.
The University of Cambridge spinout has raised £1.5m from backers including Cambridge Enterprise and Crowdcube.
"Having the ability to surface internal knowledge blended with external sources is now a major priority for large organisations that employ thousands of staff using multiple platforms to store their data, information and knowledge."
The sustainable investment platform raised the capital from venture funds, the Future Fund, and over 3,000 retail backers.
The digital ecosystem secured £865k through a crowdfunding campaign that surpassed its initial target.
"We are delighted to see so much interest in our platform that we raised almost 75% more than we targeted on Crowdcube. We are very pleased to welcome our new investors and to receive the continued support from our current shareholders. The new funding will enable us to continue expanding our customer base in the UK and other regulated markets. It also allows us to further develop our unique technological advantages that lawyers find so useful in making verification and regulatory filings much more efficient than is possible with current methods. With these advances and the interest we are seeing from stock exchanges, we are moving a step closer to realising our vision of building a single digital ecosystem for capital markets."
HumanForest secured £1.3m via Crowdcube from over 520 investors to scale its shared e-bike operations ahead of a Spring launch.
"I would like to offer a warm welcome to HumanForest’s 523 new shareholders. It gives me and the whole team at HumanForest great excitement to know that so many people from all around the world support HumanForest in its mission to reforest the world, one e-bike at a time!"
The inclusive fintech firm completed its latest raise through a mix of venture backing and a crowdfunding campaign.
"Launching a crowdfunding campaign has been an ambition of ours for some time,"
