A few years ago if you wanted to open a cafe itâd be pitched as a âBespoke artisinal coffee experience powered by Blockchain Technologyâ.
Now itâd be âPersonalised ethical bererages enabled by generative AIâ
No matter how generic the product youâre selling, add the magic buzz word of the day and hope someone bites.

Yep,AI is good n has its benefits n dangers.The AI product is optional for those who want it.
AI is here to stay,even if we donât like it,so we might as well use it for good.
I have seen a lot of AI products in Crypto in different forms,generating images,choosing investments,doing d actual investments,even coding now.Its been going on in crypto last 2 years,always generates d owners a lot of funds ,in millions,still they run away with d money,as lots of them unfortunately lack honesty or commitment.

Are you having a laugh? Emma are worse than Plum. The 2 that invested in were Snoop and MoneyDashboard
Whatâs wrong with Emma?
Last I heard they had loads of runway, due to keeping their team small and not getting carried away in the covid boom.
And what happened to Money dashboard
I couldnât make the Finisterre investor call today but saw the email summary. Anything extra from the call and any thoughts on how they sounded? Any estimates on an exit?

Fantastic news about the new store Opening in Maine,they also have a very experienced ex Patagonia guy.
Within both of those areas of growth, North America is a key priority and weâve been making great progress. We hired Chris Evans as our General Manager in December. Chris has a huge amount of experience including being the ex Commercial Director of Patagoniaâs surf division. He understands our market and customer incredibly well and has been laying the foundations for the year ahead at great pace. We now have a sales team based out of the Pacific Northwest; and weâre seeing a huge amount of excitement for the brand from the very best retailers.
I reckon an exit in 2-3 years

I put a small amount in Finisterre, so Iâm not going to make a fortune off it. but from the email it looks good. I didnât watch the investor call either.
Looks like another potential winner. My hit rate on crowdfunding is surprisingly good. so far only two are bankrupt, Iâve had two wins, one exit at break even, and Iâm quietly confident about Finsterre, Freetrade (obviously), Graphene Composites and Nanusens
Iâm still not planning on any more crowdfunding as it ties up money for too long and the wins havenât been big enough to justify the risk so far, Iâve had better returns from large listed companies

THIS! had a Series C funding round (£20m) - mix of new shares and secondary: Planet First Partners Invests £20mn in THIS⢠to Accelerate UK Growth Through a Combination of Primary and Secondary Financing | Planet First Partners News
Itâs down -70% from the peak valuation from 2022. Great for folks who invested into the convertible round as they locked in a discount.

I invested ÂŁ500 back in the dizzy heights of frothing markets, so I wonder if it will make a positive return?
They seemed to be doing quite well, they had good investor updates. Interesting they they sold now, felt like they were on a good growth path, so potentially feels slightly early to exit?
Has anyone else invested in RNWL through Seedrs? I noticed today that its shares are no longer listed on the secondary market and I was hoping this might mean some newsâŚ
Taxscouts exit is pretty annoying.
Basically, a cash/stock split that is a 2% return and some based on performance,
The only real upside would be if the stock of the acquirer (Taxfix) goes up and exits later on
Based on my recent crowd performances though it isnât the worst case

I invested in 2022 with EIS. Since the cash is less than 30% of the invested value and I will have to return the 30% back to HMRC. This is probably a negative return, at least in the short term.
Fully Charged is crowdfunding. The pitch isnât live yet but there are some details in this video.
REMEMBER itâs on Crowdcube so youâll experience fees when youâre buying and if you donât lose all your money through a failed investment and the company actually does well then Crowdcube will come knocking again for their risk free Success Tax.

Their in person expo events around the world seem very popular with big sponsors and big brands exhibiting and I enjoy most of their content on YouTube⌠I just donât know why they need more money when they seem to have been growing at a great speed off their own backs.
