Revolut · 2016 → 2024

Revolut’s first crowdfunding investors paid $2.14 a share in 2016. Eight years later they were offered $865.42 — a 40,000% gain — and 433 people had got in for as little as £10.

Raise Sonar watches 20+ equity-crowdfunding platforms in 15+ countries and every SEC Form C filing. You hear when a raise launches, 7 days, 72 hours and 24 hours before it closes, when it nears its cap, and before an early-bird perk runs out.

  • £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.

Here’s the part the platforms don’t put on the homepage

UK crowdfunded companies · Beauhurst

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 knowing which of the 300 live deals was the one.

Every deal, every platform, every week — with the valuation, the dilution and the ones we’d avoid.

Questions

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 Radar.
