CarCrowd Tops Funding Goal on Seedrs, Aims to Unlock Fractional Investing in Super Cars

CarCrowd has topped its funding goal on Seedrs, having raised £620,000 on a £500,003 funding goal.

CarCrowd is offering equity at a pre-money valuation of £3.4 million. The EIS-qualified stock sale has garnered the support of 300 investors with just a few days left in the securities pitch.

CarCrowd is emblematic of the new “fractionalization” movement of turning non-traditional assets into investible securities. As the name belies, CarCrowd allows smaller investors to purchase a portion of collectible cars and then hopefully sell those shares at a profit “on down the road.”

According to CarCrowd, their “first full cycle asset” generated a return of 24%. CarCrowd accepts self-certified sophisticated and High Net Worth Investors.

Today, CarCrowd reports 3600 registered investors and £800,000 in assets under management – still quite small. CarCrowd reports 89% gross marging for Q4 of 2022.

Past investment opportunities include a Porsche GT3, an F355 Ferarri Berlinetta, an Elise S1, and, yes, a Lancia. Current live investments include a Ferrari 360 Spider and a Ford Fiesta (hard to explain). CarCrowd has a list of cars they want to acquire, including many of the best-known super-cars.

Purchased cars are stored and insured by CarCrowd and held in a limited company. Investors hold an annual vote to determine whether to sell the car – or hold longer.

CarCrowd was founded by former Liberis Managing Director David Spicket – who says he launched the company to “democratize the strongest performing investment classes and allow passionate people a way of joining together to own and benefit from the assets they love.” It is an interesting concept.

If you are interested to learn more, the Seedrs offering is live for a few more days, or you can visit CrowdCrowd directly.
