“The fact that we overfunded our 2014 target by 260% and that many of our Crowdcube investors have followed on in subsequent rounds has really convinced us of the long-term benefits of acquiring investors through crowdfunding.”

The founders went on to add that the second campaign’s funding will be used to to accelerate its investment in technology, this includes hiring additional development talent, allowing its in-house tech team to continue to develop cloud APIs as well as delivering additional features for its new consumer facing app.
