| Description | 40Billion.com is the social funding network for entrepreneurs,
where members can leverage their social networks to raise capital
for a business, fund a business, or find resources to build a
business. | CapAngel helps to raise love money from friends, family,
networks... | Cofundit leverages the power of the Crowd to provide funding
opportunities for innovative and unique ideas for both established
Small & Medium Sized Enterprises, as well as Growth companies.
Through the combination of its unique internet platform and
targeted local events, Cofundit puts Entrepreneurs in touch with
Investors. Entrepreneurs with funding requirements, seeking funds
to develop their business, have an opportunity to present their
project. Investors ready to lend money to Entrepreneurs and looking
for high returns, have a place where they can see several
investment opportunities at once. | Crowdcube gives the UK's best entrepreneurs and business pioneers a
newfangled way to raise business finance by tapping into a 'crowd'
of like minded trendsetters willing to invest smaller amounts of
cash in exchange for rewards and a stake in their business. | Bringing small businesses and investors together in an innovative
way, MicroVentures Marketplace will review start-ups in a process
similar to that of other Venture Capital companies. MicroVenture
Marketplace will screen all prospective applications and will
select companies that fit a profile which includes an evaluation of
suitable risk, likelihood of profitability, and willingness to give
up an equity stake. | Seedmatch is an online platform that offers crowdfunding for
startups. Everybody is invited to invest even small amounts of
money and to become one of many “mini business angels” who together
help realising the innovative and promising startup projects that
are introduced on the platform. Each investor can choose
individually which projects he wants to support. Our vision is to
make exciting ideas happen and to encourage entrepreneurship. | VenCorps™ is a community of interested individuals focused on
startup success. We peer review startups, help them solve problems,
and decide who should get funding in regular challenges. | Venture Bonsai enables entrepreneurs to get traction and feedback
for their product in the community, build trust with the potential
investors as well as attract investors when running an investment
round. | WiSEED is a crowdfunding platform dedicated to high innovative
european startups. Specialized in seed investment. Open for people
investors from 100 €. |
