Crowdfunder Startups

Zero platform fees for those fundraising to start up a new business after being affected by coronavirus.

If last year taught us anything, it’s that nothing in life is certain.

But sometimes, when you’re down - the only way is up.

We have thousands of new business startups raising money and creating their crowd at the same time. Crowdfunding helps you validate your idea, build your customer base before you start and raise the funds you need to make that leap. We're also waiving our platform fees (transaction fees still apply) for any new business starting up as a consequence of coronavirus, so more of the money you raise will go straight into building your new business.

You're ready. We're ready. Let's make your startup happen.

Join the #CrowdfunderStartups competition to be invited to a free business masterclass with business experts and be in with a chance of winning £500 towards your business!

Olly & Naomi start The Public Spirit

Olly & Naomi chose last Autumn as the time to launch their craft spirits brand - The Public Spirit. After being recently made redundant, they used that as the opportunity they needed to really focus on launching their new venture. In October they successfully raised £15,000 and are now up and running!
