Government-backed digital community FinTech Alliance partners with investment platform Seedrs.
The partnership will allow the FinTech Alliance, a digital ecosystem that “brings together and champions” the UK’s fintech community, to connect companies looking to raise capital with Seedrs.
First, the Seedrs team will help fintechs onboard and set up their campaign, and then the FinTech Alliance will support them by promoting their campaigns and connecting them with potential investors and other founders.
“At the FinTech Alliance, we are well placed to help the UK fintech community through what promises to be an interesting but challenging year ahead. We will support fintechs with access to funding, partners, talent, insights and more,” said the FinTech Alliance -community manager Louis Williams.
“But we can’t do this alone. Working with companies like Seedrs allows our platform to be much bigger and shows that the FinTech Alliance is part of a supportive ecosystem across the UK.”
Williams explained that the partnership will allow the company to support fintechs to look at all the funding options available to them.
The FinTech Alliance will support those who decide to raise money on the Seedrs platform by providing fundraising insights in addition to supporting the campaign.
“At Seedrs, we recognize the power of partnership and meaningful collaboration to drive innovation across our industry,” said Seed’s Head of Partnerships Emily Fitch-Deeley.
“Over the years we have hosted some of the UK’s most disruptive and game-changing fintechs on our platform.”
The online private investment platform enables individuals to invest in startups, growth companies and, for qualified investors, top VC funds.
It also allows entrepreneurs across all sectors to raise funds from their communities, angles and institutional investors.
Since its launch in 2012, more than 1,800 deals have been funded through Seedrs, with more than £2.3 billion invested on the platform so far.
“This strategic partnership with the FinTech Alliance will allow us to help drive the financial technology companies that build the products and services that will shape the world of tomorrow,” continued Fitch-Deeley.
“Who knows, maybe we’re about to find the next Revolut!”
