UK based Angels Den recently shared some news for 2014. Since the beginning of the year the equity crowdfunding platform has successfully raised capital for 15 different companies. Angels Den is a bit of a hybrid platform where they combine angel investing with a crowdfunding portal. They have been raising capital for startups since 2007. Before they offered up online investing, Angels Den held regular speed funding events and business funding clinics (which they continue to offer on a regular basis). They were quick to see the writing on the wall that crowdfunding was going to become an important part of their business and moved rapidly to create a robust crowdfunding platform.
The fifteen funded business for 2014 include a diverse group of companies:
If my math serves me correctly Angels Den has successfully raised £1,920,704 for 2014. You may contrast this to their total amount raised in 2013, £3.5 million funding 36 different companies. So if you extrapolate a bit – I believe that Angels Den will experience some decent growth this year.
