Startup Crowdfunding: Relaunching as a global aggregated startup crowdfunding marketplace

Earlier this year, we announced the renaming of the original Grow Venture Community (officially launched in 2010 as the first global online platform for equity crowdfunding), to Startup Crowdfunding, and a commitment to develop Startup Crowdfunding further as an independent service, as part of the Grow VC Group, the global pioneer and leader in crowdfunding. We are now pleased to announce that Startup Crowdfunding is taking a new strategic direction, with a shift towards becoming the leading global aggregator for the best startup crowdfunding opportunities.

The crowdfunding market has recently experienced some serious growth, proving to be a truly disruptive model for investing in startups. Through this growth phase we have witnessed the proliferation of crowdfunding platforms globally, across a range of asset classes and sectors. This fragmented marketplace, poses many problems for our current and growing audience of global investors, entrepreneurs, and also local platforms involved in the crowdfunding space. At this stage crowdfunding aggregators will play a more important role than ever before. As a global aggregator, Startup Crowdfunding will showcase the best crowdfunding opportunities for investors. Through Startup Crowdfunding, we will provide a centralized hub for investors, entrepreneurs and local crowdfunding platforms to collaborate.

Our primary focus for investors, is to ensure they get access to the best quality deals in the quickest manner, screened by us from across crowdfunding platforms. Startups will discover the best crowdfunding platforms to fit their needs. Through Startup Crowdfunding, entrepreneurs will be able to showcase their products and companies, to a global investor base. We will collaborate and partner with local crowdfunding platforms, directing the right startups their way and providing support during fundraising. We simply see this as the best model to connect the local benefits with global ambitions and investor audience, and as such remain true to our original core value to be global.
