As an emerging financial model for the internet, the rise and development of equity in the country has largely benefited from its ability to effectively meet the development needs of entrepreneurship finance. Today, the equity model is on the rise further, driven by popular entrepreneurship and innovation. However, according to the angels for all platform, equity financing in our country is at an early stage of development and is far from ripe compared to developed countries in europe and the united states. Today, the young editor is introducing you to some of the most famous foreign stock-raiser platforms。
United states: angellist and wefunder even autumn
Angellist is the first and largest equity platform in the united states and is known as the noose of the global equity platform. The angellist stock financing platform was created in 2010 by naval ravikant and babak nivi, initially to provide a bridge between entrepreneurs and investors, and later became a dedicated equity platform. Angellist has now become a large public platform for entrepreneurship services, investment, job recruitment and socialization. Five hundred and fifty thousand registered enterprises, more than 40,000 qualified investors, more than 6,000 start-ups and more than 3,000 business incubators have become important components of the angelist entrepreneurship innovation system。
Angellist has two features:
Syndicate, the joint investment function, which is the domestic "take-and-take" model, was initiated by angellist
Packers, i. E., the platform would charge a percentage of the cost of services if the investor were willing to establish a pool of funds before the project was identified, based on confidence in the investment prospects of the lead party, and then the lead party would choose the project for investment。
The main mode of operation of wefunder, created in 1912, is that users can invest their money in wefunder and then view the approved financing projects on the wefunder website. Click the invest button and enter a specific amount when the user has sufficient knowledge and is prepared to invest. Upon completion of the company's online financing, wefunder will pool the investment funds of all those identified as investing, create a new independent small fund and then take ownership of the start-up company. This model was later built upon by many popular platforms in the country。
England: sedrs and crowdcube
In the united kingdom, two major representative platforms, seedrs and crowdcube, are no less innovative in the area of equity formation than the silicon valley in the united states. On the government side, the united kingdom has adopted “strictly regulated + policy preferences”, which, on the one hand, strictly restrict the operation of equity platforms by legal regulation in order to protect investors and, on the other hand, encourage investment with policy preferences。
Crowdcube was born in february 2011 at the university of exeter university, england, and was founded by the entrepreneurs darren westlake and luke lang. On the basis of its pre-emptive advantage, crowdcube is now the largest equity platform in the united kingdom. As of june 2014, crowdcube had funded 126 start-ups (projects) in the amount of pound27. 71 million, with investments in 15 sectors, including retail, food, internet, science and technology, manufacturing, health and media. The retail, food and internet sectors account for half of the world's investment, far higher than other industries. Crowdcube has over 70,000 registered investors, and in 2013 the turnover was more than five times higher than in 2012。
Founded in july 2012, seedrs was the first equity platform in the united kingdom to be approved by the fca (united kingdom financial market conduct regulatory authority) and the first worldwide equity platform to be approved by local financial regulators, which was a milestone for the equity industry. The sales volume of seedrs, a late show, although only one fifth of crowdcube, has grown rapidly, almost doubling to four times every six months. As of january 2014, seedrs had financed £5. 55 million for 56 projects, with an average of 115 investors per project and £99,000 per project. During this period, 324 applications were submitted and 17 per cent were approved。
These are some of the most visible equity platforms abroad. The authors of the angels for all platform found that among them, angellist and wefunder in the united states had a profound impact on the domestic equity industry. The shadows of these two platforms can almost be found across the country, from their positioning to their investment model to their profit model。
