We are investing
We don’t just invest time and energy, but become shareholders in every business that successfully funds. That’s why we take a much more rigorous approach and only present vetted business opportunities to our investors.
Each business has to pass a number of strict criteria in order to be considered. Our investment specialists then analyse each business to judge the likelihood of it completing a successful fund raise and delivering a significant return to our investors. Only 10% of businesses meet our criteria.
When we are confident that the business is a good match, we begin the CrowdBnk Bootcamp process to confirm that the business is robust and its claims are valid. This takes roughly three weeks and is carried out by CrowdBnk’s highly experienced team.
CrowdBnk Portfolio
CrowdBnk Bootcamp is designed to make businesses investor-ready and therefore more likely to get funded and deliver a good return to our investors.

Does it look like a solid business?
To get through the door at CrowdBnk businesses must have a combination of existing customers, proof of concept, revenue, contracts, Angel investors, grants and third party endorsements.
Credibility
Does the information add up?
We spend a minimum of three weeks checking that every claim a business makes (valuation, contracts, market analysis) is credible
Quality Team
Is the team exceptional?
Our experts meet with every business and interrogate their leadership team to see if they can 1. Attract serious investment and 2. Deliver the business.
Traction
Can it fund
We make sure that the businesses we put in front of our investors have already raised funds through their existing network of investors, which considerably increases their chance of funding successfully.
Return
Will it deliver?
As investors ourselves, we only present opportunities we believe can deliver a good return.
Excitement
Is there some magic?
The final thing we look for is the magic; the one thing that makes a business exciting - a particular USP, a red-hot market sector, an amazing team.
