Seedrs sets new crowdfunding record

Seedrs has secured more than 2 million pounds of investment via its own platform, setting a new world record for the most equity raised via an equity crowdfunding site. The London-based startup, which last week became the world’s first equity crowdfunding platform open to investors and entrepreneurs throughout Europe, had originally called for 750,000 pounds of investment in return for 12.66 per cent equity.
