WiSEED
Curated by SignalFrench Crowdfunding platform
Overview
WiSEED is a French equity-based crowdfunding site that funds innovative startups and cooperatives. It has also launched debt and equity crowdfunding for real estate projects - residential as well as commercial. The platform allows users to invest as little as €100 ($130) in return for a company’s shares. Each month, WiSEED's community votes on 10 innovative startups. Following an audit, three of these companies are selected, enabling them to raise between €50,000 and €500,000 against an equity stake of 5-20% of the company. All of the individual investments are combined into a single holding company, dedicated exclusively to this investment, in which each investor holds a stake. Thereafter, the platform monitors the project and maintains communication between investors and entrepreneurs. The company itself raised €1 million ($1.3 million) from its own community of investors. It has a community of over 20,000 registered investors. The platform has raised €6.5 million ($5.8 million) in total, and its portfolio contains 34 French startups as of Jan 2014.
