This is 5x on top of the 7x CrowdCube Valuation right?
That’s 35x!!! I managed to collect enough contacts and wasn’t convinced in the end... only put down £10.- for the sake of it! |

I have yet to find a single one of these companies who are actually doing something original. They are run by people who have a limited, if at all, knowledge of financial services, who are convinced they are doing some great only because of their lack of knowledge.
I've had session with three of them in the past 12 months and it is all the same, once you scratch the surface a bit and has the hard questions, it all unravels very quickly.

Seeder’s round max amount was £1k. | Quote: | |  | | | Fintech is the .com boom all over again... I have yet to find a single one of these companies who are actually doing something original.
