CrowdInvest is a Web 3.0-based cross-border alternative investment platform that connects global investors and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) with impactful startups from emerging markets. The company is promoted and incubated by Red Ribbon Asset Management, based in Mayfair, London. CrowdInvest follows a Triple P bottom-line approach, requiring the startups it supports to adhere to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) for impact reporting.
What sets the company apart from its competitors is its use of blockchain technology for SPV cap table management through smart contracts, tokenization of securities to create liquidity pools, and artificial intelligence for forecasting the performance and valuation of fundraising companies, helping investors make informed decisions. The company actively engages in deal sourcing and managing investment opportunities for investors, while also supporting founders in achieving their fundraising goals.
By integrating blockchain into its operations, the company has created a transparent platform that provides an immutable system for record-keeping. This helps investors (buyers and sellers) verify the valuation of tokens (startup shares) on sale and ensures secure cross-border payments through a borderless infrastructure. The founders, Nakul Garg and Suchit Punnose have played a pivotal role in the company’s success by capitalizing on its unique feature of facilitating cross-border investments for angel syndicates by offering low-cost smaller investment opportunities in private markets. The company has a growing community of 2,000+ users (investors) and a diverse portfolio of deals spanning across India, UAE, USA, Kenya, and the UK. The company is now planning to launch its Secondary Market for the public where investors can trade their tokenized securities to get an exit and earn return on their investments.
