Iām new to Crowdcube, and to Freetrade, and currently my portfolio is very heavy on crowdfunding, something I want to correct in the next months.
So far in Crowdcube:
Monzo
Grind
And have pledged small amounts, but still undecided:

I have been doing this since 2013 but still missed some good opportunity like Landbay.When they first came to Seedrs was valued at around Ā£600K but currently Ā£40m!
Wow, I want to know more about you.
Share whatever you can 
[Deenoreal announces their crowdequity investment fundā¦]
Yes there have been about 2 exits, Wealthify sold to Aviva, wasnāt happy about this exit as returns was about 15%. Stamplay sold to Apple.This was just over 100% or so.The bulk of these are on Seedrs and the stats is showing about 95% are still active with just under 5% winding up. I calculate a similar stats for holdings on Crowdcube. Performance wise, from what I know the paper return on investment is about 60% excluding tax benefit. This is the best investment opportunity if you pick the right ones!
It performing better than my pension fund.Now back to the Woodford thread 
Excellent. Clearly following the investment strategy of Dave McClure and the increasingly inappropriately named 500 startups. (now with more than 2000 companies).https://500.co/ Diversification is a good thing but I donāt envy your tracking spreadsheet!.
Hereās someone else who takes that āwhole marketā approach to startup investing I recently invested in over 150 startups | by Adam Mosam | Startups & Venture Capital . I had a mind to approach crowdequity investing like that but quickly realised that most opportunities seemed like weak or copycat ideas. So I didnāt do that.
Does anyone happen to still have the pitch decks for either Monzo or Revolut whom they can share with me via email? If so I can DM my email across

Crowdfunding need not just be about takeovers and IPOs. Parcel2go is now profitable and paying its first dividend (5% yield)
Do companies say in their pitch if their plan is to IPO or notā¦?
Sometimes, usually itās a vague statement about potential opportunities to exit if the company successfully executes on their plan through a trade sale/acquisition/IPO.
To be fair at an early or very early stage I wouldnāt expect the business to know what the best route to exit is and accept the argument that the focus should be on building a great business rather than positioning for an exit from the beginning
Had an update from Doorsteps today, I was dubious about that one and it was one of my āalmost regretsā
Probably canāt give too much away here as it was marked confidential but they actually made a profit in May, shows what I know
