SPREDS

Spreds is a “Venture Capital” investment platform which uses crowdfunding techniques to allow individuals to select and invest alongside professionals in European start-ups and SMEs. Individuals can invest (from 100 euros) in companies listed on Spreds in conjunction with investment professionals and under the same financial conditions. Individuals combine their resources to select, invest in and support the companies of tomorrow with industry professionals. Spreds can be considered to be... the main showcase for Belgian entrepreneurship to the rest of the world, as no less than 15k people from 163 countries use the platform every day to give advice and invest in our entrepreneurs. Spreds is industry leader, since more than 150 million euros have been raised since its commercial launch in September 2012 and it has more than 45,000 members. Spreds was also the first crowdfunding platform in the world to develop a system allowing young companies to make a public offering for Belgian savings by establishing a relationship of trust with the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA). This is because Spreds published a FSMA approved prospectus to be able to raise unlimited amounts of funds using crowdfunding.More
