Notas do Editor

  1. Morning Crowdcube is Europe’s leading equity crowdfunding platform designed to make it easy for businesses to raise investment from anyone, and for anyone to invest in exciting growing companies. Equity crowdfunding uses technology to raise investment – usually seed or growth capital, from a wide range of people Crowdfunding depends on…
  2. We believe in the power of the crowd & in the democratisation of investment. Equity Crowdfunding fundamentally serves to allow any business to raise investment from anyone, and for anyone to invest in any business. The principle of crowdfunding is that lots of people can contribute small amounts of money –
  3. Not that different to angel investment – instead of insisting on a minimum level of investment and ending up with a handful of backers,
  4. Crowdfunding allows anyone to invest from as little as £10 – this means the businesses potentially ends up with dozens of investors – an army of advocates and advisors - all vested in their success. This means founders can source investment easily from angels, personal & professional networks, their customer base, friends and family – anyone, from nearly anywhere in the world – through one platform – I think the record for one company is investment from 90 countries.
  5. Before we get into the who’s the what’s the why’s of equity crowdfunding, let’s take a look at the market - This is for all equity investment in non-listed UK companies rather than just crowdfunding. When I was here last year, it was on the back of a fairly disappointing 2016 for private equity investment– and that was for a variety of macro reasons including Brexit. 2017 has been big, and that’s primarily been down to a handful of big raises – in 2017 there were 29 deals of £50m or greater - 4 times the norm. That said, when we strip out those outliers, average deal size is up the up, which is a trend we’ve seen in equity crowdfunding, and deal volume increased by about 5% - in short, there’s more money around for a similar number of businesses looking to raise. Market share of crowdfunding across finance life cycle continued to increase – crowdfunding at growth-stage increased by 10% - continued trend of crowdfunding moving out of ‘alternative finance’ and firmly into the mainstream
  6. In terms of where we’ve seen funding come from – the institutions recovered some of their appetite last year – anecdotally we’ve heard it was easier last year to raise funds to raise than in prior years. You’ll see that crowdfunding is in 2nd place for number of deals completed – contrast that to where the industry was in 2013
  7. In terms of Geography, London remains dominant - over half of all PE deals in the UK went to London-based companies, but the south west saw the biggest growth at 50%. As a platform, we saw this trend in both
  8. Why do People Use Crowdfunding: Two sides of the coin – we’re lucky that we see both sides For Entrepreneurs – Gives you global investor reach, and it’s cost effective – both in terms of expenses and time. Average investment round we hear is around 10 months. With us. from application to cash in the bank – it should be a little over 3 months More than that – the marketing effect remains key – on average businesses that raise money through crowdfunding will see a 3-fold increase in sales through the heightened awareness. Terms – absolutely key – entrepreneurs are more likely to secure founder-friendly terms and a fair valuation. For investors – ease of access to venture stage investment – before crowdfunding, this was the preserve of hnw’s – now ANYONE can access. Investors tell us that as well as financial returns (and we have seen returns), they want to back great british businesses that interest them – over 25% are interested in helping in an advisory capacity. It’s also pretty efficient in terms of accessing deal flow
  9. How it works – more than anything this is an exercise in awareness raising – if entrepreneurs go out with the objective of connecting as positively as possible, with as many people as possible, they can’t lose. This take the form of traditional networking as well as email, social media, digital advertising, can take the form of print/outdoor media as well. Like all platforms – we provide an online ‘pitch page’ – the shop window. which allows you to present information through a video, text and images
  10. Text & images – explaining what you do, why you’re awesome, who’s behind it Documents – financial forecasts, full business plan
  11. There’s also a forum – both for updates broadcast by the founding team, and discussions. This is all about creating dialogue. In this respect, crowdfunding is a little different to other methods of fundraising – this is public. Trial by crowd. This means that if someone asks a tough question – how did you arrive at your valuation is a common one – and their answer is poor, the crowd will let them know. In this campaign – updates included product development updates, press coverage, significant investors. Investors wanted to know some of the detail of how it’s being designed, how it will work, how IP will be owned in future, legal and regulatory restrictions for the future. Similarly, entrepreneurs who communicate openly and effectively are handsomely rewarded. You can also see share types – this is one of the mechanisms we use to make it easy for entrepreneurs to manage a large number of investors (a common concern) – typically larger investors are offered ordinary shares with voting and pre-emption rights, whilst smaller investors take a more passive share class with equal rights to proceeds on exit or dividends. Ultimately, whatever class, investors through equity crowdfunding are typically best described as quietly helpful- as long as they receive updates, they probably won’t get in touch unless they can help. Crowdfunding is fundamentally an exercise in awareness raising, and that awareness can be tied into other activity – Just park were hiring and had 2000 job applications in a week whilst live, compared to around 100 in the month prior. Many businesses receive 3 times the number of commercial enquiries than normal during their round Typically – 3 months start to end Like most fundraising activity, it takes time and effort, but a lot of entrepreneurs, particularly those who have raised before through other means, compare it to a sprint rather than a marathon – efficient use of time and resources, delivering cash, marketing, awareness, an army of brand advocates and valuable expertise and introductions. All starts with a simple application on our website We have inhouse lawyers to call upon where necessary – both structuring and due diligence , Work with you on marketing planning – networks and investors, help Write your pitch and create your video We’ll make due diligence as easy as possible, We work with you on finalising paperwork and agreements, issue share certs and EIS certs Investor Relations Portal
  12. To businesses looking at using equity crowdfunding – big question – who do I get? One of the big draws historically to institutional and Angel money was the status of the investor, or the doors they could open, the guidance they could provide. Crowdfunding is no different. They’re a diverse age range – certainly more diverse than you’d typically see in traditional early-stage investment – over 60 % of investors are under the age of 44 We also see a more diverse gender split – typically 5-10% of angels and VCs are female, in crowdfunding, it’s around 26%
  13. They’re serious people – the crowd have had a bad rap over the years some even described them as ‘dumb money’– we know they’re smart, well paid, well educated, and work for respectable firms. A recent study by LSE shows that they make economically rational decisions – akin to institutional money. They’re also experienced – around 50% of investors have held the title of CEO, founder or director at some point.
  14. Split of how our crowd is made up – as expected – far more everyday investors, but HNWs invest more And a much better gender split – still not 50/50 – should be noted historically, female founders have a tougher time raising investment – in equity crowdfunding (at least on our platform), it’s easier – normal success rate around 55%, female-led businesses nearer 85%.
  15. In terms of the types of business that have successfully used crowdfunding – we’re sector agnostic, though the easier to understand and the more exciting the business, the easier it is to crowdfund – fundamentally, there needs to be a crowd that might be interested in investing, and there needs to be a way of getting to them. This means that historically businesses in Food & Beverage & technology have tended to do well consumer facing, but b2b businesses that can explain themselves (with our help have raised successfully too) – recently we saw Hurree which is a marketing automation app successfully raise, as well as Rentivo which create software for travel agents and holiday home rentals. Eden project raised 1.5m in a matter of hours
  16. GripIt – backed by Deborah Meaden and the most successful Dragon’s Den Business - £2m in 5 days. It’s a plasterboard fixing!
  17. Victor Mobility raised nearly ¾ of a million to continue development of their new mobility device which allows users to move around at eye level - founded by Phil Eaglesham – former Royal Marine
  18. We’ve raised a lot of money
  19. For over 600 companies
  20. Companies at varying stages of Growth – historically we sav maybe 20% of funds being raised into growth stage companies, in the last 12 months we’ve seen a rebalance – more mature businesses are turning to the crowd
  21. Who invests via Crowdfunding – well there’s a lot of them – currently, over 500k in our community And It’s growing – nearly 150k joined Crowdcube last year – we assume a similar growth rate across the industry
  22. I won’t go through all this data but I will point out that the largest single investment was made at 10 minutes to midnight, from a mobile phone. We raise anything from £20k to £10m Average amount through the platform last quarter was over £10m per month
