The list below represents the largest investment crowdfunding campaigns in Germany during 2013. The compilation is courtesy of Crowdstreet.de and includes the largest equity campaigns from a variety of crowdfunding sites. Klaus-Martin Meyer is the owner and operator of Crowdstreet.de, a blog that covers the German crowdfunding industry.
The single largest campaign, URBANARA, raised capital on Bergfürst. On Bergfürst shares may sold directly on the platform as they also act as a secondary market. Berlin based URBANARA, founded in 2010, is an online platform for high quality home furnishings and home accessories. The company has over 40 employees.
Clearly Seedmatch has generated the bulk of the large equity crowdfunding campaigns with 19 entries. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots are each from Seedmatch. E-Volo was their single largest campaign which was recently covered on Crowdfund Insider having raised an amazing €1.2 Million. Seedmatch boasts over 21,000 registered users, 51 funded projects and over €10 Million invested capital on their platform alone.
Over €13 Million crowdfunded from the top 32 is a pretty impressive amount.
