The Startups Returning 30x to Crowdfunders THE TOP 5 CROWDFUNDING RETURNS ON SEEDRS R Europe (formerly Seedrs) is a leading crowdfunding platform that allows individuals to invest in early-stage businesses and startups. It's a high risk, high reward type of investing where most investments will fail. However there is the opportunity for HUGE returns if you pick the right companies. If you had invested £1,000 in one of the top 5 companies this is what it would be worth today: 🚀 LandTech > £78,420 🚀 Revolut > £74,230 🚀 LANDBAY > £34,400 🚀 OfficeRnD > £32,370 🚀 Oddbox > £31,870 However, for every company that sees success like this there is likely dozens more that returned nothing. According to Seedrs data the more investments an investor makes the better their returns are. On average those who have made 10+ investments have seen their investments grow by 6-7% year over year. However, much like VC, the real money is made at the outliers: 🔥 The top 25% of investors have seen their investments increase by an average of 34% year over year 🔥 The top 10% have seen it increase 63% year over year These are great returns however, the difficulty in investing in early stage startups is getting your cash out again. Only 56 startups that have raised on Seedrs have gone on to exit, which means the only other option is selling secondaries. This is obviously NOT investment advice. All data is taken from a public report published by R Europe (formerly Seedrs).
