Starcks Launches a Crowdfunding Round on Seedrs with the new EU Regulation

The Roman startup Starcks, created within the venture builder WDA launched by Roberto Macina, has taken an epochal step in the field of equity crowdfunding, launching the first round of capital raising on Seedrs , one of the leading global portals in the market of equity crowdfunding.

This was possible thanks to the opportunities offered by the recent European regulation on equity crowdfunding, which, by unifying the rules in the EU states, allows fundraising companies to solicit public savings throughout the European Union and, therefore, to the portals to extend the reference capital market.

Starcks campaign on Seedrs will be running for 4 more weeks

Facilitating the launch and success of this operation was Over Ventures, the advisory boutique that launched the first European crowdfunding studio , acting as arranger and advisor of the operation.

Over Ventures, strategic partner of WDA and Italian venture partner of Seedrs, was founded by Giancarlo Vergine, one of the leading Italian experts on the topics of Community Funding and Equity Crowdfunding, who, regarding the operation, stated: “ the launch of Starcks’ community funding is just the beginning of the relaunch of equity crowdfunding as a valid alternative finance tool. We already have another four operations in the pipeline, which also involve scale-ups already financed by VCs and community-based SMEs, ready to exploit crowdfunding to expand internationally and raise capital from their user base.”

Starcks, almost a year after its launch, has developed the first Italian exchange of the official tokens of the next football stars, whose value, thanks to a proprietary algorithm, is directly linked to the players’ performance on the football field.

Starcks can already boast a series of important results: with more than 30 players in the listing phase, over 10,000 registered users and €700,000 in tokens sold, in November it launched the innovative Fantasy Football Game, a “gamification” component that adds a new perspective to the Star Player Token business.

Starcks CEO and co-founder of WDA, Mario Costanzo , said: “ We are extremely proud of the results achieved so far. With the support of our investors and community, we are poised to reach exciting new heights. Our Fantasy Football Game represents an innovation in the industry, and crowdfunding on Seedrs gives us the opportunity to further engage our community and advance our vision and share future successes.”

One of the main partners and chairman of Starcks, Alessandro Moggi, is a prominent figure in the world of football

With over 20 years of experience in the football sector as an agent, he has looked after the interests of international players such as Francesco Totti, Alessandro Nesta and Ciro Immobile.

Another key figure of the company is Emanuele Floridi, expert in Public Affairs & Crisis Management, with twenty years of experience in the sector of institutions and politics, communication and media, sport and finance, telecommunications, in Italy and abroad.

The campaign, currently running for a further 4 weeks, has already collected 39 investments for a total of over 260,000 euros raised, between the phase reserved for the community and the first 2 days of launch, approaching the minimum collection.
