Crowdcube provides a platform for entrepreneurs to connect with smaller investors through crowdfunding. It aims to address challenges entrepreneurs face in accessing traditional sources of funding like venture capital and debt financing. Crowdcube allows thousands of smaller "micro-investors" to each contribute smaller amounts, like £10, towards business funding needs. So far Crowdcube has successfully funded over 30 deals totaling £4.2 million, with investments ranging from £100,000 to £1,800 on average and up to £1 million for some larger deals.
