Investors can take punt on start-ups with crowd-funding, conference told

Investors can take a punt in high-risk, high-reward start-up companies through ‘crowd-funding’, a well-attended conference heard in Croke Park.

Thomas Davies, the owner of London-based FSA-regulated Seedrs, outlined the innovative new concept, which is becoming much more popular in the UK market.

Crowd-funding aims to match small investors looking to invest in start-ups with high-potential companies looking for seed capital.
