“Israel’s investment opportunity is no longer an exclusive ‘closed shop’ for the select few, Crowd investing has changed the financial landscape, and startups can now seamlessly raise capital from the full community of investors.
Our new dynamic UK platform allows the crowd to co-invest alongside seasoned professionals and institutions, providing everyone with a great way to reap the potential rewards this asset class has to offer”

Worldwide equity crowdinvesting grew 182 percent to $1.1 billion in 2016, and this trend is expected to continue due to evolving crowdinvesting legislation worldwide.
