Investor Rewards R6

Correct.

Crowdcube’s success fee only applies to profits made on investments in businesses that opened to investment on or after the 1st of April 2021.

You’ve clearly not worked in a commercial role before!

I worked at Crowdcube for two years. For anyone raising serious money it is very negotiable. They won’t be paying anywhere near 7% especially now that carry has been introduced.

As someone who has said to people in the past that you you shouldn’t be investing to receive an forum badge, I feel filthy for saying this …. But where’s my forum badge?

By the rule of the book, I’ve invested enough by my standards and FT’s standards to receive it and, a year after my last investment, it’s still not there. I look at my profile now and I get confused about when I’ve invested and where.

Can we just call me a founding investor and be done with it?!

Not these days. It’s transitioned to more of a marketplace. Val is largely determined by lead investors and the crowd’s appetite.

Just received the R6 badge. There was a bit of a delay so maybe you will receive yours shortly.

Yep! For EIS investments there’s also a bit of leeway in val for crowd rounds. Always pays to be discerning. FT have priced very fairly and sensibly for future rounds IMO. Expecting a big val for this Sept raise and would hope a £100-150m+ Series C round is coming soon after that.

I do hope they delay a series C as they mentioned they will be fine for a while on the cash front even if they grow the team, will just mean dilution will be more if its soon after the cc raise.

Compared to the dilution of series B, it’s effectively immaterial.

Even the difference between £750m and £1bn is:

18/750 (2.4%) vs 18/1000 (1.8%).

Oh sorry you meant series C not the crowdfund raise…

Series C won’t be until next year I’m sure - unless they can 2/3x the share price no point raising more cash quite yet.

Yah, crowdcube dilution will be small but series C definately won’t be.

Badge me please!

Edit: nice!!!

I have waited Sooo long, waiting a bit longer doesn’t really make any difference.:slightly_smiling_face:

Have you selected it in your profile preferences?

I don’t see these options in my Preferences -> Profile. Do I need to enable this pref. section first somehow?

If you hit Preferences you are on the right page, it should show your email, name, title and flair on that one page. Don’t go to Profile.

I have email and name fields but nothing after it, no title nor flair.
