14. The first and only crowdfunded IPO
in the world
“Cambridge-based SyndicateRoom
Makes AIM History”
“SyndicateRoom is the first company to
harness investment both from
private investors via crowdfunding and
institutional buyers for its IPO.”
I believe that crowdfunding has the power to disrupt not just today. It has the power to disrupt for years to come.
For crowdfunding to be truly disruptive, 3 things need to happen.
And this is why we started SR.
SR is the only platform based in the UK that allows you to invest with people like these top UK angel investors. They are not guarantying anything and certainly are not recommending or giving investment advice. They are investing their own money.
Different investors

Fair play
But how disruptive is actually being? What do I mean by disrupting Crowdfunding?
In the US / In the UK
Why? Attracting more sophisticated investors, which have more money and higher likelihood of returns
In case you are thinking we are replicating AngelList, we announced our version of syndicates on the 19th March 2013, 3 weeks before AngelList. Ours wasn’t built though… As a proper startup, we had nothing in the background – we were testing to see how many sign ups so that we can prove the demand to raise money.
