UK based crowdfunding platform Seedrs has “joined forces” with HedgeBrunch, a “global network of hedge funds” and finance professional to expose the group to the world of investment crowdfunding. Reportedly co-founder and CEO of Seedrs Jeff Lynn reviewed his platforms operations to the group last week at the Library Club in London’s West End.
A great evening @LibraryLondon for @Hedgebrunch Club event with our good friends @seedrs last night! Thanks all for joining us!

HedgeBrunch is a roaming event for those working in the alternative investment industry. The group regularly meets at the Library Club but schedules gatherings around the globe. According to their web site, HedgeBrunch has a network of over 10,000 hedge fund professionals and is growing rapidly. The group is invitation only and is designed to be a casual setting where participants may relax and connect on a personal level. One participant described the group as “… an excellent way to meet industry colleagues without the formal expectation associated with a service provider driven conference or event.”
Seedrs’ relationship with HedgeBrunch could be a good channel for new investors that are comfortable with early stage investment opportunities and associated risk.
