Last night, Seedrs, a leading UK based investment crowdfunding platform, held its inaugural alumni awards in recognition of their growing number of successfully crowdfunded companies.
Over the years Seedrs has supported more than 590 businesses raise much-needed growth capital. Simultaneously, the very public process has helped to raise the profile of these young firms by promoting their services and enlisting a legion of supporters.
Our inaugural Alumni Awards was amazing!
