CrowdFundMe authorized under the new European Regulation

Crowdfundme, which to date has raised 85 million by funding over 170 projects, has been authorized under the new European Regulation for equity crowdfunding. As a reminder, the company has acquired the real estate lending platform Trusters for which a separate authorization has been requested and is still pending.

In a note sent to users, CrowdFundMe stressed that a new profiling process will be implemented on the site, with the aim of increasing investor protection and awareness. Subsequently, depending on which category of investor one falls into, the user may also be given an updated appropriateness questionnaire.

For companies, a new document collection process will be introduced during the onboarding phase, aimed at fostering transparency. Finally, he noted that the web portal will be updated so that it is compliant with the regulation, and new investment opportunities will be launched once the update is finished.

BacktoWork, another historic equity crowdfunding platform, has raised 47 million for 136 projects to date

The platform announced its authorization under the European Regulation in an email to its users, “Backtowork is officially a platform authorized to operate under the new European crowdinvesting regulation!
