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.
