Raise funding through crowdfunding

Crowdfunding gives your company an opportunity to engage your consumers and fans of your product or service as shareholders.  It is also an excellent opportunity to raise funding in case bank loans are not an option. Crowdfunding campaigns help you to launch new products or services, expand your markets or sales, find co-operation partners and of course, investors.

Fundwise suits all type of enterprises: from product design to computer games and software from energy and green technology solutions to sharing economy etc. It is also an excellent accelerator for reaching international markets. Equity crowdfunding is the new approach in raising funds from a larger group of investors than usual, as all individuals, above the age of 18 and legal entities are potential investors. Investing is made as easy and user-friendly as possible. And by the end of the successful campaign investors will get shares of the company they have invested in.
