Since I discovered crowd investing, there has been a stellar pitch on Crowdcube which particularly impressed me and seemed to get fully funded far faster than anything else, raising £430,000 in just 20 days. It was a proposal for a chain of pizza-by-the-slice restaurants in London. My own bite-sized investment left my back account a few weeks ago and the first branch opens soon.
Food companies are, so to speak, two a penny in crowd investing world so it wasn’t (only) my affection for food which attracted me. Pizza Rossa is run by a group of MBA graduates from London Business School. The team won the School’s annual business plan competition and was also a winner of the 2013 Deloitte Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s Founders Award.

Playing at Angels and Dragons
I invested in a start-up company making foldable electric bikes last week. I have discovered crowd investing.
In particular, I have discovered Crowdcube. Like other crowd investing sites, entrepreneurs and small businesses pitch their proposals for investment in start-up or early stage companies. Investors can commit what we can afford to risk, even from as little as £10 in some cases, into the investment pool. If the funding target is reached, we pay the money committed and become a shareholder in the business.
