The platform, which is also the first directly regulated debt and <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/pitches\/equity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equity<\/a> platform, already has three live pitches.<\/p>\n<p>It is launched by Tony De Nazareth who has over 30 years\u2019 experience of investment banking, venture capital and lending. He has combined his experience and knowledge of finance with his interest in social media and technology to create an innovative source of funding that competes with, and has the potential to replace the traditional sources of funding for companies.<\/p>\n<p>The launch pitches include film company Mughals, The Series Ltd, which is looking to raise funds for a new high end prime time TV drama, the Mughals \u2013 supported by actress Mamta Kaash; Bet Fast Ltd, a mobile software company which provides software to bookmakers &amp; stadiums; and AIM listed company Advanced Oncotherapy, a provider of radiotherapy systems, which has a \u00a322.7m market cap and recently raised \u00a36m through traditional channels.<\/p>\n<p>Director and founder, Tony De Nazareth comments: \u201cThis is the first time that a directly regulated crowdfunding platform combines <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdforangels.com\/pitches\/debt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">debt<\/a> and equity pitches in one place. I want to bring innovative and appealing products to the crowd, fund companies through all phases of their growth cycle and also enable companies to find funding outside of traditional circles. Crowd for Angels presents a unique and appealing platform to the crowdfunding sector offering niche products that other platforms do not offer. We are challenging the status quo by developing new ways of doing things such as having a minimum and a maximum fund raising target for pitches which does away with the standard \u2018all or nothing\u2019 approach. The fact that we have a listed company as one of our opening pitches speaks volumes about the need for a new crowdfunding model such as ours. The beauty of our platform is that a company can begin with raising seed capital and carry on being funded through to Pre-IPO and when listed. Companies can use our platform to get fast and flexible financing on their terms and investors have an opportunity to invest in attractive products that would not normally be available to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of Crowd for Angels include:<\/p>\n<h5>For Investors<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<ul>No fees<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Up to 50% tax relief on investments through SEIS and EIS<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Short term convertible loans, thereby reducing the probability of default with the option of converting before maturity.<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Invest from as little as \u00a325<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Investors can potentially make returns of over 10 per cent<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Crowd for Angels platform is regulated under the April\u2019s FCA guidance on the sector<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>For companies<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<ul>A Minimum and Maximum target \u2013 funds are released on the minimum target being reached<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>It provides funding for the entire growth cycle \u2013 from seed to listed<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Two funding targets, that allows companies to gain access to funding more quickly<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Nominee structure so companies only deals with one investor<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>Reduces the chance of a drop in share price on conversion, as multiple investors with different risk profiles and time horizons are unlikely to convert and sell at the same time.<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is launched by Tony De Nazareth who has over 30 years\u2019 experience of investment banking, venture capital and lending.
