Small suggestions

one thing important is the fact nothing is translate in french. Which is quite difficult for me to understand everything.
And secondly you need to make an app to make more easy the access of the informations and the data.
That's my point of vue.
Thank you.

Simple to Use, Clear About Risks

Crowdcube makes investing simple and accessible. The process is clearly explained throughout, with clear and repeated reminders that investments are high risk and capital could be lost.
A straightforward and transparent platform.

Avoid like the plague- you will lose all your money

How this company still continues operate and willingly take peoples' money is beyond me. It may not be a scam but is as good as one. Please be warned, you will lose your money - if you want to support a company, think of your investment as a donation, because you won't be seeing any returns. The fact that Crowdcube says they do thorough due diligence on these companies and their pitches is laughable - just made up forecasts and valuations to part everyday investors from their money.

I lost 600€

I lost 600€ - I was told there was a risk but not that almost every crowdfunding investment in a startup is lost. I am curious about the statistics.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re sorry to hear that your investments did not perform as you had hoped.

As you know, Investing in private companies involves risks, including illiquidity, dilution, lack of dividends, and the possibility of losing some or all of your investment. For this reason, these types of investments are intended for investors who understand the risks and make their own investment decisions as part of a diversified portfolio.

We always encourage investors to carefully review the risks before investing. You can read our full Risk Warning here: https://www.crowdcube.com/explore/risk-warning

Best wishes,
The Crowdcube team.
