Seedrs Goes Live To Help Crowdfund The Gap In Idea-Stage Investing

87025v5-max-250x250Seed funding is difficult to raise in Europe. Often, very difficult. Though some might say that it should be when a company is only at the idea stage. But thats a view that is in stark contrast with Silicon Valley, which is a constant complaint aired by the European entrepreneurs that I talk to.However, the situation in the UK at least could be about to get a whole lot better with the launch ofSeedrs, a platform that aims to crowdfund the gap in "idea-stage" investing by making it easy for anybody to invest from 10 and 150,000 per-startup in return for actual equity. Three years in the making, its opening with full regulatory approval -- an achievement that rightfully gained the startup many plaudits as it was crowned winner of the recent London Web Summit.
