CrowdFundMe Reaches 200 Million in Funding by Financing 657 Companies, with 13 Exits

CrowdFundMe SpA, the first Italian crowdinvesting platform listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, has announced that it has reached the milestone of 200 million in funding, strengthening its role as a reference in the equity, lending and real estate crowdfunding sector.

CrowdFundMe’s Results 9 Years After Its Launch

The portal, founded in 2013 by Tommaso Baldissera Pacchetti and operational since 2016, has so far supported over 657 startups, SMEs and real estate operations, contributing to the creation of over 5,200 jobs.

He has also managed more than 93,600 investments in projects across the energy, technology, healthcare, fintech, real estate and manufacturing sectors and has successfully completed 13 exits.

Among these, we can mention CleanBnB (raised €3.9 million, listed on Euronext Growth Milan in 2019), Glass To Power (raised €2.3 million, listed on Euronext Access Paris in 2022) and i-RFK (raised €2.5 million, listed on Euronext Access Paris in 2019).

The same CrowdFundMe that had successfully closed a round in 2017, had listed on Euronext Growth Milan in 2019.

The stages of development

From the year of its birth to today, CrowdFundMe has gone through fundamental stages that have consolidated its leadership in the market:

2019 – Becomes the first Italian crowdinvesting platform to be listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, with an initial capitalization of over 13 million euros and a revaluation of 5.3 times compared to 2017.

2022 – Acquires Trusters, integrating lending crowdfunding into its offering and expanding investment opportunities for investors.

2023 – Implements the dematerialization of Srl shares, following the approval of the Capital Bill, simplifying the management and transfer of company shares.

2024-2025 – Consolidates lending crowdfunding and private debt as pillars of its offering and introduces a strategic agreement that provides guarantees of up to 80% on investments, increasing security for investors and facilitating access to capital for SMEs.

CrowdFundMe’s plans for the future

With the milestone of 200 million euros raised, CrowdFundMe confirms its mission to democratize access to investments and offer concrete opportunities for both companies and investors.

Tommaso Baldissera Pacchetti, CEO of CrowdFundMe, commented: “Reaching this milestone is an important confirmation of the validity of our business model and the trust that investors and companies place in our platform. We will continue to innovate and develop new solutions to expand access to financial markets and support the growth of Italian startups and SMEs.”

In its plans for 2025-2026, CrowdFundMe plans to further expand its crowdinvesting ecosystem through strategic operations in the fintech and private debt sectors.

The company will evaluate targeted acquisitions to strengthen its leadership position and diversify its investment offering.

Furthermore, digital solutions are expected to be enhanced to simplify access to financial markets and attract new institutional and retail investors.
