FundedByMe launches new product: “Crowdfunding for listed companies”*
FundedByMe broadens its audience and launches the product “Crowdfunding for listed companies.” FundedByMe currently works primarily with crowdfunding for private limited companies but aims also at offering both public and listed companies (in Sweden) the benefits and opportunities that crowdfunding with FundedByMe entails.
The The new product will launch during the fall of 2019 and discussions are held with different partners such as distribution partners and stockbrokers. This new product is most likely completely unique and FundedByMe looks forward to see the outcome and response of the launch.
“As a player with a strong network of private investors we’ve been able to help listed companies with capital raising for a long time. We support FundedByMe who believes in creating a new and different offer for listed companies,” says Mats Ahlskog, CEO Stockpicker.
”We believe this is a great initiative that listed companies receive more options to raise funding,” says Tommy Fransson, Deputy CEO, NGM.
“The strategy since the acquisition and the consolidation of Laika Consulting has been to offer FundedByMe’s services to companies in different stages, from seed funding to pre-IPO. Now we are soon able to work with customers that are in a listed environment. We are humble about the challenges and rules that lie ahead for these companies, and we hope we can become a great support. While also being happy about the opportunity to broaden our offer towards new customers, as well as being able to offer our investment network the possibility to invest in more mature and listed companies,” says Daniel Daboczy, Group CEO.
The company reviews the possibility to develop the product offerings, especially after the consolidation with Laika Consulting and will during the fall launch the new product. The new product shall only be available in partnership with stockbrokers. FundedByMe being a listed company, will also review the possibility to test the new product by implementing its own crowdfunding in correlation with the release.
The crowdfunding phenomenon has taken the financial world by storm over the last few years. More and more companies see the opportunities that are made available when new target audiences can be reached during the company’s procurement of capital. In Sweden and globally thousands of companies have used equity crowdfunding and managed to raise billions USD from different types of investors. FundedByMe is one of Europe’s biggest players within the segment equity crowdfunding and has since 2012 raised over 650 million SEK (€61M) for more than 500 limited companies.
