£1.01m on Crowdcube at a £42m valuation (2016). Investors were up 1,800% by 2018 and ~40,000% by the 2024 share sale, when Crowdcube and Seedrs holders were allocated $19m to cash out.
MOMENTUM ALARMS · ALERTS PLAN
A raise filling at three times its usual rate can reach its cap days before the deadline. One that stalls may miss its target. Raise Sonar compares each raise with its own usual pace and emails you when that changes.
Sample raise — illustrative
Tessel Labs, last 24 hours $84,000, 3.2 times its usual pace of $26,000 a day. At this pace it reaches its $1.24M max in about 4 days.

↗ Tessel Labs is filling 3.2× faster than usual
↗ SPEEDING UP · 3.2× USUAL PACE
Tessel Labs took in $84,000 in the last 24 hours, 3.2× its usual pace. Wefunder · Reg CF · US · SaaS.
Projections assume today’s pace continues. Pace often changes. Not investment advice.
We read each platform’s progress figure every 15–60 minutes and keep every reading.
Usual pace is the median daily amount over the raise’s previous 7 days, so a $50k raise and a $5M raise are each judged on their own terms.
Last 24 hours, usual pace, amount raised and, at this pace, when it reaches its goal. Then one button that opens the platform.

6% Exited
Only 6% of UK crowdfunded companies have ever exited, and 20% went bust (Beauhurst).
What each outcome means for your shares
Exited
Acquisition, IPO or secondary sale. The only point most backers get cash back, usually years after investing.
Went bust
Shares are typically written off. UK investors who claimed EIS or SEIS relief may be able to offset the loss against tax.
Neither, yet
Still trading, or quietly dormant. There’s no market to sell into unless the platform opens a secondary window, so your money stays locked in.
Freetrade · same company, same platform
15x Earliest backers
Per £1,000 invested · the tick marks your stake
Freetrade’s earliest backers made 15x; the ones who bought at the 2021 peak lost 87% — same company, same platform, five years apart.
BrewDog · Equity for Punks
+2,765% £0
BrewDog’s Equity for Punks investors were once shown a 2,765% paper gain. When the UK business sold in March 2026 they got nothing.
US · Reg CF annual reports
47%
47% of US crowdfunded companies don’t even file their required annual reports. Half this market is dark. That’s the whole reason this newsletter exists.
Revolut, Monzo and Camden Town were all open to anyone with £10 and an afternoon. The problem was never access. It was keeping track of all 713 live deals.
Every deal, every platform, every week — with the valuation, the dilution and the deadline. The call is yours.

Data & API
Need the data for a team or a tool? That is not sold at checkout. Tell us what you need.
No. Each platform decides who can invest, usually by country of residence. Tell us where you live and every raise is badged “Open to foreign investors”, “Residents only” or “Accredited only”. Raises you can’t join are greyed out, never hidden, so you can still follow them.
No. Raise Sonar is an information service. We don’t recommend deals, take money or process investments. Every button opens the platform, where you decide and invest.
Launch alerts go out within minutes of a raise appearing on a platform or a Form C appearing on EDGAR. Most platforms are checked every 5–15 minutes, and every figure shows when it was last checked. Free subscribers get the weekly digest, 24–48 hours behind.
From Settings in the dashboard, which opens Stripe’s billing portal, or at link.com. A cancelled plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for, and you keep the free Weekly Sonar.
