Recrowd
Recrowd was founded in March 2019 by experts in the financial, real estate, and technology sectors: Gianluca de Simone (CEO), Simone Putignano (CFO), Massimo Traversi (coo). It entered the Speed MI Up incubator of Bocconi University in Milan in February 2019. In August of the same year, Recrowd on the Opstart platform raised $474,000 (€418.880) against a minimum target of $56,700 (€50,000), based on a pre-money valuation of $3.4 million (€3 million). The platform boasts revenues of $454,000 (€400,000) and profits of $68,000 (€60,000) (data as of the end of June 2021).
Esperia Investor chose to invest in Recrowd last September, after evaluating its growth potential. According to BeBeez and CrowdfundingBuzz, 43% of the capital was sold by a first-time investor in the platform. The transaction will be followed by a capital increase based on the company’s needs related to activities still under consideration to be developed in the 2022-23 biennium. With this transaction, Esperia Investor has expanded its investment portfolio by adding Recrowd to Monety (a credit brokerage company of the Gabetti Group), G RENT (Gabetti Short Rent, a company listed on the AIM of Milan, which operates in the luxury hospitality market at an international level) and Brera contract (leader in contract services in the real estate segment).
