A new way to find investment for your University Business

Crowdcube is a new way to raise business investment, which aims to boost University Entrepreneurs by connecting them with a ‘crowd’ of potential investors.

Crowdcube is the first crowdfunding website in the world to offer ordinary people equity in exchange for investment in start-up and growing businesses. It aims to make access to finance easier for entrepreneurs of newly formed and growing small businesses. Instead of competing for limited business angel, government grants or venture capital funding, start-ups can use Crowdcube as a platform to connect with a nation of ‘armchair dragons’ to find investment.

Entrepreneurs can showcase their business and investment potential to thousands of micro-investors by uploading a ‘dragons’ den’ style video pitch, images and supporting documents. Spreading the word about a pitch is made easy via Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter sharing links on their dedicated Crowdcube webpage. People can support an idea, person or business by investing small amounts of money – from as little as £10 – in exchange for shares in the business.

Crowdcube is searching for grassroots entrepreneurs from student campuses to drive the growth of entrepreneurship and enterprise across the UK. There is no cost for entrepreneurs to sign up to Crowdcube.

Entrepreneurs can register their business idea or company at www.crowdcube.com
