Crowdcube, a leading online investment platform operating in the UK and Europe, reports becoming profitable in 2025 amid double-digit revenue growth. The company also emphasized its focus on providing later-stage investment opportunities for its users.
In a blog post, Crowdcube said it had reached new highs, calling the platform the leading gateway for retail investors to access private firms.
While not providing specifics on 2025 financial performance, the company pointed to 12 years of operations with over £1.5 billion invested into the private markets on its platform, while managing more than £1 billion worth of securities for 425,000 investors
Crowdcube highlighted the following offerings completed in 2025:
- Crowdcube’s largest-ever primary fundraising for Chip at £8.9 million, alongside £2.1 million in secondary sales for Chip. Chip has raised over £50 million in primary capital from retail investors on the platform since 2017
- Secondary opportunities in Atom Bank at a £397 million valuation
- BOLT funding ahead of its anticipated IPO
- Nothing’s $5 million funding round, which came at a $1.3 billion valuation, was led by Tiger Global.
Crowdcube also noted two key partnerships that occurred in the year. The collaboration with London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to establish Crowdcube as the retail gateway for its new Private Intermittent Securities and Capital Exchange System (PISCES). The first PISCES transaction is expected to be completed this month.
There has been a trend in the online capital formation sector, as platforms leverage established technology to provide investors with access to later-stage private firms. A more mature business tends to carry lower risk than startups.
Crowdcube said that the market is shifting to later-stage companies, which “results in improved unit economics. This includes both primary and secondary opportunities.
Matt Cooper, Co-CEO of Crowdcube, said the company is in a very strong position as its market expands further into private markets.
“Companies staying private longer creates sustained demand for employee and investor liquidity—and we’ve built the infrastructure to serve that need.”
