Open for investments
- This company is making it easy for anyone & everyone to invest in a startup, and more importantly, invest towards a better future.
- Following a US$3 million pre-Series A in 2020, and US$10 million Series A in 2021, 500-backed sustainability platform abillion just announced a community investment round on crowdfunding service Wefunder.
- What does this mean? Retail investors and abillion’s one million members get a chance to invest in the company — something which would normally only be possible following an IPO.
- The minimum investment amount is US$100, and investors do not need to be accredited. 500 Global is proud to be participating in this round too!
- This fundraising round comes as the company reports that the platform has grown by 20x over the past two years. The community now features more than 2.5 million user-generated product reviews, while 4,700 Software-as-a-Service customers are on recurring contracts.
- “Since launching our Community Equity program in 2022, we’ve brought on board more than 10,000 of our members around the world as stakeholders in our vision for a better world,” said Founder & CEO Vikas Garg. “This year, as we raise capital to grow, we’re proud to be opening up our investment round to our community of members and anyone that believes in our mission to create a better, more impactful social network.”
