Crowd Funding Crowd Wisdom! Where and how to pre-register for Pynk equity raise.
It’s been quite a year for us here at Pynk.
We kicked off the year with a win at the Malta Blockchain and AI awards, we made the Business Insider list of Top 20 most interesting startups at Money 2020, beat 930 other startups to one of four places in the prestigious 360 Lab accelerator and just last week we won the pitch battle at Wolves Investor summit in Poland. Not to mention our global Pynkster crowd is now 10 thousand strong across 160 countries, each of whom are making daily price predictions that fuel Rose AI and our ‘Crowd Wisdom’ system.
As a team that are fully focussed on getting to the next stage, we are keeping our foot firmly planted on the floor and looking forward to another strong year in 2020.
Of course, we want to share our success with Pynksters and so I’m pleased to announce we will shortly be opening up our second Seed round (Seed B) to the general public, so that you can invest directly in the company behind Pynk.
That means you have the chance to invest early in London’s hottest Fintech and maximise your returns over time. If you fancy yourself as an early stage angel investor — then this is your chance.
Since the raise is capped and since we are already receiving strong interest from our global community, we anticipate demand will be high. As such, we recommend to register your interest early to make sure you are top of the waitlist. We will allocate investment opportunities on a ‘first come first served basis’.
All you have to do to get started is register at: pynk.seedrs.com.
Below are some more details on the raise to help you decide if this is right for you….
WHAT IS A SEED ROUND AND WHAT WILL IT BE USED FOR?
In ‘startup world’ the process for raising capital to fuel growth typically starts with a Pre-Seed round, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C and so on….until the company is sold or reaches IPO stage.
Pynk is still ‘early stage’ and following our first Seed round (Q1 2019) we are now raising again for what we call our ‘Seed B’ round. As with most equity rounds, this will be led by private money from a mix of VCs and angel investors. Since we are all about Pynksters — we want to open up the opportunity to our early supporters as well.
The money we raise will be spent against product development, building out the team, and marketing & sales. This will enable us to deliver against our 2020 KPIs which are designed in conjunction with our accelerator partners Natwest Bank & 360 Labs.
It’s a crucial step in the early stages of a a startup ahead of Series A and essentially it’s about proving ‘product market’ fit and the first step in getting ready to scale.
WHO ARE SEEDRS?
The Pynk Crowd and extended community is now made up of members from more than 160+ countries worldwide. For our non-UK based Pynksters who may not have heard of Seedrs; it is arguably the UK’s most prominent Crowd Funding platform.
Having been founded in 2012 - they are actually one of the early fin-tech companies themselves. By using technology to match investors with businesses looking to raise capital — they facilitate a double sided market place and make the process of angel investing easier for both parties.
If you’re interested in researching angel investing or other startup trends in the UK sector - then Seedrs is a good place to start. Seedrs events are also a great place to hear directly from startups themselves. In fact, Pynk co-founders Seth Ward and Rupert Barksfield pitched Pynk to an audience of 200 Seedrs investors at their recent fin-tech pitch night hosted at Level 39 offices.
