Also I agree that Crowdcube is of course very business focussed, I should've looked more into what exactly you need funding for first, but yes it does seem to be a very good set up. The PR opportunity alone for being funded in this manner is very attractive for a small business. At least while its new anyway! Ah yes, I remember that Crowdfunder was created by the same guys.

I pretty sure crowdcube.com is a white-labeled version of crowdfunder.co.uk (mentioned above). Also Crowdcube is more business focused an we were looking for a more creative funding solution. Worth thinking about using as they seem great. Hi Hywel, glad you like. I pretty sure crowdcube.com is a white-labeled version of crowdfunder.co.uk (mentioned above).

I just wondered if you had looked over http://www.crowdcube.com/ too? Also appears to have a Fully Funded model and similar to a number of those above. What do you think?

I was also pointed towards http://launch.sprowd.com/ which looks interesting too.

I had brief contact with them when they launched as an Aussie outfit and they said they were going to launch in the UK once they got the financial/legal shizzle sorted. Doesn't seem like they did, particularly. Ahhh, I see.

I could only see one outside Oz - project from Ireland. (and Lucy has a strong Oz assent) I remember I did a quick search and read a blog post that said it was hard(er) for a non-oz company to get an invitation. Not sure if true but makes sense. Didn't make the UK/Euro cut :) when I looked at it it might have a .co.uk address but projects advertised in A$ and pretty much all are Australian.

But they've got a .com for the Aussies and a .co.uk for us Brits. Just remembered it, otherwise I would have mentioned it sooner.
