Prosper, a customer-championing business in the world of saving and investing, has hit 130% of its funding target of £785,000, raising over £785,000, with a week of its public crowdfund still to go.
The success of the crowdfund has been backed by some of the biggest names in fintech, including Tom Blomfield, the founder and former CEO of digital bank Monzo, who said: “The crowdfunding community was vital to Monzo’s growth and helped us engage with our early users. Like Monzo, Prosper is a customer champion brand shaking up the wealth industry. As I invested in Prosper, it became clear that speaking to the community would also play a part in their journey. It’s only the beginning, but I’m excited to help more people prosper!”
Monzo’s first crowdfunding campaign raised just under £1m at a £30m valuation. Today, that valuation stands at “around £4 billion”, according to Sky News. Prosper’s founder and CEO, Nick Perrett, commented: “We’ve been blown away by the demand we’ve seen from our community. It’s a testament to the value we can create building a customer-championing business in the world of saving and investing.”
Investors should be aware that this is a high-risk investment, and they are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
