The owner of the Tubecon events, Tubecon Oy, has launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Invesdor to raised €375,000 to support its growth targets. The company reports that it aims, through the crowdfunding campaign, to increase resources for expanding and internationalizing its operations.
While sharing details about Tubecon, CEO Risto Kuulasmaa, stated:
“Tubecon is a modern Finnish export product. Successful events in Finland, Sweden and Spain have taken our concept to the international level. Our goal is to expand to at least five new countries in the next year and establish a Europe-wide network while expanding into a multi-platform media business.”
The Tubecon events notably offer an excellent opportunity to reach this target group. The events bring influencers, fans, and brands together in a unique way. Last year Tubecon Finland, annually held at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, attracted 19,000 visitors.
“Tubecon differentiates itself from others with its licensing model. In the licensing model the local event organizer acquires a license and receives instructions from Tubecon’s professionals on how to arrange the event. Tubecon’s representatives assist with arrangements and manage the building of the event together with the local YouTuber community. The licensing model enables rapid international growth, creation of a network as well as international sponsorship agreements. The first partner in the Nordics is Nokia, represented by HMD.”
Kuulasmaa added:
”Tubecon has all it takes to become an international success. We are currently negotiating with multiple partner candidates. Now, the crowdfunding campaign presents everyone of age the opportunity to be part of the company’s growth story.”
Since its launch, Tuebcon’s Invesdor has successfully secured more than €115,000. It is set to close at the end of August.
