Daniel Daboczy, co-founder and CEO,

"Equity crowdfunding is a fast emerging market, that has arrived
not only to disrupt and change the current financial models of
investments but also adding new capital to a stagnant market.
Investment in growth and early ventures are few and rare. We are
quite proud that in the last year, since our pivot into equity
crowdfunding, we've already added 2% to the total venture-funding in
our main markets and over 56% new money to seed-funding Figures that
clearly shows that equity crowdfunding is a model that not only
increases investments but also caters for cross-border investments
and attracts an global audience. We see that this is only the
beginning and aim at taking an even bigger stake out of the
investment market. Our strategy to do this is by growing fast, always
developing and making sure that trust, quality and transparency
follows every step we take."
