Yikes! LOL!
What’s the latest with the NFT?
In 2021 you made a significant investment in our Crowdfunding round and, among other things, qualified to receive a unique Freetrade NFT. We also said that the NFT could carry additional perks, but we’ve not said more, until now
In recognition of your significant investment, we’re offering you a FREE one-year Plus subscription (normally £119.88/year).

And why exactly would FT roll over and submit itself to a fair value acquisition? I’d hope they would do what Rightmove did and show them which way the door is 
and not just be the next HL. Of course there’s always a price but given the growth FT is now seeing again, it should be outrageous attractive - £1BN plus perhaps to even get out of bed for.

Yeah, they don’t need to accept a lowball offer now they are profitable with decent growth.Better to wait a few years and sell or IPO in a better Climate (if that ever comes!)

Now that they are profitable I’d rather wait a while and see what they can come up with in terms of development hopefully only up from here

I’d love to see some news of an exit this year. Some of us have been on this train for nearly 9 years and counting!

I think IG has made a terrible mistake when most the shareholder customers jump ship - maybe the £160m is the value of the business without any customers

Yep, turns out I was very wrong. I will make a profit having got in at R2, however it’s still very disappointing

If you want to understand why the share price for ordinary A & B shareholders is so low then this post is informative - series B shareholders get their money first before earlier round investors get their share (this is not unusual and why private companies are such a minefield) - if valuation was above £300m it would be a very different. 2018 crowdfunding invested at around £0.50 at a valuation of £18M. And despite the valuation being close to 10x they only received 2x. Dilution combined with being a junior share holder kills you

Told you… what a pathetically weak deal and a wasted decade for investors

I hope @Viktor will have the decency to show up here and answer some questions.
Closing at a valuation lower than the previous Crowdfunding round is disrespectful especially after showing to the world that Freetrade was already financially stable. Shame on you Freetrade. Really disappointed with this ending!

I’m not counting on that.
There will not be any apology. They will do by the book so no legal recourse.
If you are getting your money count yourself lucky.
This will be end of my crowdfunding journey.
