In new data released by industry research company Beauhurst, Crowdcube was found to be the number one equity crowdfunder, raising more capital through its platform in 2017 than any other company. With its 2017 fundraisings holding a total value of £95m, it is £10.9m ahead of its nearest competitor.

Crowdcube saw this £95m raised through 33 deals of £1m or more - another industry-leading figure - making it the most active company providing funding for Series A funding for business and helping to fill the ‘funding gap’.
